Stores clash over closing hours in 1940s Sikeston meeting
At a Sikeston retail merchants meeting held in the county courthouse, Graber's and People's Store announced later closing hours while others argued against longer shifts. A roll call kept hours at the former standard. Graber's and People's faced union concerns, though Graber's defended the plan to give clerks 42 hours weekly. The grocery sector kept existing hours, with Farm Loan Association officials present from Memphis.
