IS COMPLETED

place and the one that makes it the
logical location for a market in this
city are its excellent railroad facili-
tics. This is a feature that none of
the many markets of Los Angeles have
ever had since the old Plaza was the
distributing center for fruits and pro-
duce thirty years ago.
In the past the produce business has
not been of sufficient volume to compel
wholesalers to locate near railway
track but the large and rapidly in
creasing quantity of produce that is
handled by the thousand or more deal
ers now absolutely demand these ac-
commodations.
Already one two-story building con-
tanning go stalls forty feet deep, max
ing the measurements of the building
4OX1150 feet, is completed. All of these
stalls have a double entrance, one
from Sixth street and the other from
the market yard. The work of paw
ing the yard was completed several
weeks ago. Sixth street at this point
has been widened and the paving is
completed.
The driveways Of the yard are wider
by several feet than those of the old
market place, and the sidewalks are
Third street and Central avenue sur
rounding the old market.
The wide sidewalks, both in front
and at the rear of the stalls Is a fea-
turc that any produce man is bound
To appreciate for, with the city ordi
nance compelling a passage way TO be
left between a store front and the
curbing, it is almost impossible for
produce men to exhibit their goods and
handle it adequately over narrow
walk.
The market yard has a capacity of
700 wagons. In addition to this wagons
will be allowed to stand on both sides
of Sixth street, opposite the stalls, so
that I'm the early rush hours of the
morning fully 200 wagons can get
within trading distance of the whole
sale houses and stalls.
Provision has been made in one of
the long buildings shown in the ac-
companying location for a clubroom
for market men, card and poolrooms,
library. restaurant. barber shop, gym
nasium and other desirable features
Many of the large wholesale firms
Of the city have leased space at the
new location, and it is expected that
in the near future all OF the big
grocery and produce firms will be in
the fold.
Within few days the new market
buildings will be completed. Posses
sion will he given by April Is, and
moving day is fixed for April 16.

tenants for the new buildings, furnish
