ith the rules exacted, thus enforcing and
maintaining system and discipline.

The hours for opening and closing business vary at different seasons of
the year, of which due notice is given. The opening hour is usually 8
o'clock, at which time all employees are expected to be in their
respective positions, all covers folded and put in proper places, stocks
and counters dusted, and everything made ready for the day's business.

All employees must enter and leave the store by employees' entrance,
leaving all wraps, hats, rubbers, lunches, etc., in the cloakroom,
which is conveniently arranged for this purpose.

Upon entering the store in the morning and upon leaving and returning at
noon, and on going out at night, each individual records his or her
time. If for good reason an employee is necessarily delayed, a
permission pass may be obtained to commence work; but if late without a
good reason being given, they cannot commence work until noon, and thus
lose a half day's work and a half day's pay. Attendance to business must
be punctual and regular. Continued lateness and absence would merit
discharge.

Employees who are absent for any cause must notify the house at once,
either the head of their department or time-keeper, and satisfactory
reasons given for being absent.

Whenever a change of address is made, employees must report same to
time-keeper at once.

Employees must never leave the store during business hours (except for
dinner) without a pass signed by the head of the department and
countersigned by one authorized. Blank pass books are usually supplied
heads of departments. These passes should give the names of employees,
their numbers, what departments employed in, date and time of going out,
and must be presented to the time-keeper, who will permit employees to
go to the cloakroom for wraps and pass them out.

Employees must not leave their departments to go to any other part of
the store without informing the head of the department, or assistant,
and obtaining permission.

Employees desiring to purchase goods for themselves are expected to do
so during the least busy hours, usually from 8 to 9 A. M. A pass to
purchase must be obtained from the head of the department. This pass is
exchanged for a purchasing card. All employees' purchases must be made
on purchasing card and sent by the regular delivery. If for any reason a
parcel cannot be sent by the regular delivery, and employee is to carry
it home,
