The public offices at city hall, the court house and the post offices were closed. Banks observed the day and in some instances the holiday was observed in the mills and factories.

Flags fluttered from many buildings and there were a number of patriots who put out a new flag. President Lincoln's ancestry was closely linked with Berks county, and there were many Reading veterans of the Civil War who had seen President Lincoln in the 60's and there are still Lincoln families here who bear a rather close relationship to the great emancipator. Richard G. Lincoln, of 220 North Ninth street, is a cousin of Abraham Lincoln, and as such was introduced to President Wilson when the Berks Democrats visited the president at "Shadow Lawn" during the 1916 campaign. Stores were open as usual, having been closed on the Monday fuel holiday, but the theatres were closed, having been open on Monday.
