Tie street candy peddler is one
Of tie things that attract the atten-
ton OF the tourist on his first ar
rival in Mexico, says Modern Mexi-
co. As the climate is warm enough
to be out of doors all the year
around, the candy vender is to be
found at his post from one years
end TO the other, including Sun
days, Saturdays and feast days The
candy man has a very ancient his
tory. The Aztecs were very fond of
sweets, of which they understood the
art of making very many kinds and
varieties. The soldiers of Cortes
tell US that on their way to this city
from Vera Cruz on that memorable
march against the city of the Aztecs
they were met along the way by
vendors who sold sweets of many
! kinds, which became very agreeable
to the taste when once they had got
accustomed to them. The candy
yender takes up his place at the cor
ner of a street, where he remains all
day from early morning till late at
night. As a general thing, too, you
may find him in the same place all
the year round. Once a vender has
possession of a certain place the 9TH
er vendors recognize his right and
do not modest him with competition.
Sometimes a vender will sell only
one kind of candy. In this case he
in all probability makes it himself.
However, many vendors have lately
been seized with the progressive
spirit of the times and display quite
little stock in trade of kinds of
sweets, most of which are not known
outside of Mexico.
The candy vender generally has a
small folding table about ~ by
80 feet in dimensions. On this he
piles all his wares. Therefore you
have no trouble in finding exactly
what you want, for there it is al
spread out before you. If you dc
not find it there you need not make
further inquiries. The vender vii
not have it.
There are over a thousand street
candy vendors in the City of Mexico
Some Of these have push carts, al
