OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL
AT THE WHARF MARKET
Licensed Shuckers on Hand Now to
Attend to Wants of All
Visitors.

Those who call at the wharf market
today for their Sunday supply of fresh
Smoked oysters or on the half shell,
will find plenty of good bivalves to select
from, and while the stock now being
brought here is not large. the oysters
are fat and of excellent flavor.
visit to the wharf market for oys-
tiers will be found to be much more
pleasant this year than it has been in
the past. as the District has done away
with the crowd of half-drunken men who
stood at the entrance to the wharf and
solicited all who came along to let them
show them where to buy and to get a
man to shluck the oysters when bought
Under the new order of things the buyer
can Cd out on the wharf without being
annoyed. purchase his oysters from the
vessel whose stock pleases him the most,
and then have them shucked by men
licensed by the District for this work.
Market Master Moves, in charge of the
wharf market, in the past week issued
badges to the men licensed to open oys-
a wharf
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-09-28
Fifty-Four Badges Issued.

So far ifty-four badges have been is
sued but most of the shuckers will work
in the packing houses. Eighteen of them
however, have been authorized to ply
their tradt for the small buyer calling
at the wharf. SO that there will be no
trouble to get some one to open oysters
at the wharf These men have all been
recommended by dealers at the wharf as
sober. reliable men, and should any of
them appear on the wharf under the in
fiuence of liquor his license will be re-
voked. Those who make a practice of
buying at the wharf can pick out a
particular shucheE by his badge number,
and can get him 10 open oysters for
them al every visit 10 the wharf
Another feature Of the numbered
badge system is the fact that If the
patron has reason to believe he is not
receiving proper treatment or is being
overcha rged he has but TO report the
shuckers number to the market master
and the charge will be investigated, and
if sustained the man viii he sent from
the wharf. Efforts VIII LIE made to make
the shocking OF oysters j more sanitary
operation than Il was often in the past
by seeing that the shuckers' equipment
is kept clean.
