of this country best in the market
Every town has. its large market build
ing filled with stalls and shops OF all
kinds, and it is there that the common
people go to buy and to sell. The
markets are much like the bazaars of
the orient or those which were so
common all over Europe at the time
of the middle ages. The individual
store is an evidence of civilization and
progress. The business of all savage
and semicivilized people is done II
stalls at one common center, and in
the evolution of trade it seems that
we are coming back to the same con-
ditiOns. The modern market is known
as the department store and individual
merchants and clerks work for the
owner.
The market at San Jose covers a full
city block 1t is surrounded by rows
of wide stores forming the outer wall,
with other rows of stores or shops run
ming along narrow aisles through the
court within from one side to the
other. The outer wall Of stores is about
80 feet deep, and those within are
much smaller. They sell everything
under the sun. One section is devoted
to shoe shops. another to tailor shops
and a third to leather wares, including
the saddle bags which every Costa
Rican peasant carries when he rides
to and from home.
Standing at one end of the market
and looking down these covered streets
you see that the walls are hung with
goods of all kinds. The merchant tai
