these parcels must be O. K.'d by the proper party. A numbered
check is given to the employee and a duplicate attached to the parcel.
By presenting this check at the exit door, the package is delivered to
the proper party. Parcels are not allowed to be carried into the store
by employees. The wagons call upon request and deliver packages to the
parcel office, where they may be obtained.

Employees are to avoid gossiping and not allow their time to be taken up
with friends who desire to visit with them during business hours. Loud
conversation to be avoided.

Business hours not to be occupied in reading books, papers, letter
writing, needlework, etc. Loafing or wasting time away from departments
not allowed.

Extravagance and display in dress to be avoided. The use of striking
colors and patterns is objectionable. The costume should be modest and
neat in appearance.

Employees are expected to be courteous to each other, using the same
dignity, respect, and care in add dressing others that they feel they
are entitled to themselves.

Should clerks be deserving of censure, it should be done in a
gentlemanly manner, not before other employees or customers, thus
retaining the respect of each other.

The use of gum or tobacco, eating nuts, fruits, candy, or lunches during
business hours is strongly objected to. Loitering around the outside of
the building, on the corners or at the entrances, expectorating on the
walks and giving the premises an untidy appearance will not be
permitted. Defacing the walls, counters or fixtures, or abusing the
property in any way, means immediate dismissal.

All employees must learn to obey the orders of those whose authority is
recognized, and be governed by the rules and regulations of the house;
not only because they must, but for their own individual interests, and
the interests of the house in general. Some rules may appear rigid, but
they are deemed necessary, and, therefore, must be obeyed, and the
living up to them is not intended to be a reflection on the self-respect
of any one.
