A PARKING SUGGESTION Walking to our office every morn ing we are usually passed by several merohants and clerks in their care going to work. Arriving at their places _of business their cars are parked at the front and there re main in most instances for the day. This practice for tbe'month of De cember at lea.Ht, should be di.scarded. At the pre-Christmas season throngs of people are on the streets daily, many coming fi-dm the rural sections and other towns and cities to shop and ftifdinif U difficult to obtain parking rspace. It’s none of our bu.siness whether the merchants, salesmen and sales ladies ride or walk to their work. We are glad to see them all own cars and ride in the good makes that are advertised regularly in The Chronicle. But for the convenience of the buy ing public we'are again making the following suggeatkm to merchants 1a .
