C.F. Sherrill Suggests Closing Gas Stations on Sabbath, Aug. 11, 1925

Sunday Closing Is Help to Gas Station

To the Editor of The Star,

The Automotive Service association of Charlotte made the statement in the Observer of last Friday that the volume of business done on Saturday by the filling stations since they voted to close on Sundays I smore than the amount formerly done on Saturday and Sunday combined.

Owners of the storage places, which remained open to accommodate out-of-town motorists, reported a decrease in their Sunday business.

It pays to keep the Sabbath. It would be a fine thing for all of the Shelby filling stations to close on Sunday. Every laborer has a right to the Holy Sabbath.

--C.F. Sherrill
