# Gemeinschaftsempfang der Rede des Führers (communal listening to the Führer's speech): shop notice

A notice in a shop door reads: 'On the occasion of the communal reception of the Führer's speech there will be a sales break from 16 to 17 hours.' Business stops so that staff and customers listen together; the notice itself tells every passer-by that the whole street is tuning in.
