Comfort for Workers
Comfort for Workers.
Before this chronicler went out to the shops he asked whether he would be likely to spoil a good suit during a walk through the place. In some doubt he accepted an assurance that his clothing would run no risk—and the prediction was fulfilled. Nowhere did he perceive nuisance in the air, which is kept remarkably clean and comfortable at a temperature of about 55 degrees. Inside and out—where lawns and flower-plots gladden the eyes—the conditions for the big staff are notably good. That is the new order. The old shops were good and faithful servants in their day and in their way—but it is a new day and a new way in the Hutt Valley.
