LABRADOR HERRING
AT CENTER MARKET

A whiG of the frozen North blew into
Center Market today, when shipments
of Labrador herring were received. This
FISH always arrives on the market about
this time of year and stays until June,
usually meeting with a strong demand
throughout The season.
The average shopper who pays 3 cents
apiece for the tempting herring does
not know that ii is smoked after il
reaches the market, and not before.
The fish are shipped fresh from L.abra-
dor and arrive here within few weeks
after being caught Only a sufficient
QudTtity is smoked by the local dealers
each day TO satisfy the demand of the
following day and, by this system, the
market IS never oveTsupplied.
Dealers say that the herring this year
are of good quality and great numbers
OF them were sold today. So far, the
fishing season along the Labrador coast
is proving a good one and it is believed
that herring will be received here until
late In the summer
