OUR HATS GO OFF TO HERTFORD'S MERCHANTS Once again Hertford merchants take the lead in announcing the an aual summer half holiday. Begin ning June 4, Hertford's leading busi ness houses will close their doors at 1 o'clock every Thursday and the employees will be given a half day off each week for rest and recreation. Just how much this brief rest spell, or recreation period, means to the men and women, boys and girls, who work in stores and offices only those who have worked day in and day out. with never even an hour off, for six days every week, can have any idea. Those who have kept Tegular hours at a steady job over a long period of time understand. Time was when such a thing as the summer half holiday was un heard of. The stores in Hertford kept open until bedtime every night not so very many years ago. Even in cities and larger towns this half hol iday in summer is no very old thing. Twenty-five years ago the stores in the largest town in the Albemarle gave only half a holiday on the Fourth of July. A weekly half holi day was unheard of. How the matter started or where it began, it would be hard to say. An enterprising manager oi a progres sive business somewhere who com prehended, perhaps, something of human needs, who understood some thing of the strain of the steady grind of the week's toil during the hot weather, probably saw that there was need to ease the strain a bit Maybe he realized the truth of the matter, that the business would reap the benefit from the renewed strength of the worker given a rest spell during the hot weather." For this is undoubtedly true. The man, woman, boy or girl who has this little vacation period in the mid dle of the week returns to work much better able to face the heavier duties of the week-end. Hertford merchants have given this annual half holiday since the smaller cities began to observe the occasion. Thursday has been the day chosen by the Hertford mer chants as the day when less incon venience results to the farm men and women. It has become to be generally known that the stores in Hertford are closed on Thursday afternoons and there is consequently little inconvenience to the country people or others. And so the employees have a holi day, and so does the boss. The Hert ford folks spend the afternoon in various ways, of course. Some take little trips, others go fishing, on pic nics, some go swimming, borne oi the women, it is said, catch up in household duties. More than one enjoys the afternoon at home. It's a great thing, the regular summer half holiday, and The Per quimans Weekly takes off its hat to the Hertford merchants and others who give it, and also takes the half holiday with the crowd.
