INSTRUCTIONS TO EMPLOYEES

 

Our new business code:

 

            Our store will open a 7 A.M. and close at 8 P.M. except on Saturday, when it closes at 9 P.M.  This is in effect the year round.  This store will remain closed on the Sabbath.

 

 

Duties of employees:

 

            Sweep floors, dust furniture, shelves and show cases, remember "Cleanliness is next to Godliness." Trim wicks, fill lamps, clean chimneys, make your pens carefully (but you may whittle the quills to suit your individual taste). Open windows for fresh air; each clerk shall bring in a bucket of water and scuttle of coal for the day’s business

 

            Any employee who smokes Spanish cigars, uses liquor in any form, gets shaved at the barber shop, or frequents pool halls or public dance halls, will give his employer every reason to suspicion his integrity, worthy intentions and all around honesty.

 

            Each employee is expected to pay his tithing to the Church, that is ten percent of his annual income; no matter what your income might be, and should not contribute less than twenty-five dollars per year to the Church. Each employee will attend Sunday Sacrament meeting, and adequate time will be given to attend Fast Meeting on Thursday. Also you are expected to attend your Sunday School.

 

            Men employees will be given one evening off each week for courting purposes, or two evenings each week if they go regularly to Church and attend to Church duties. After any employee has spent his thirteen hours of labor in the store, he should then spend his leisure time in reading good books, and contemplating the glories and building up the Kingdom of God.
