day only. An attendant in charge COL
lects the fees and acts as inspector,
so that only the freshest and best
fruits and vegetables can be offered
for sale, while the superintendent Of
markets makes the rounds and visits
each market every day.
Nor are fruits and vegetables the
only products to be had. Chickens,
eggs. butter and other dairy products,
homemade bread, preserves; in fact
anything in the way of eatableS that
one has for sale may be offered to the
housekeepers of the neighborhood for
the rental Of a stall.
The women of Los Angeles were
quick to realize that when the market
basket 'supersedes the telephone as a
factor in obtaining the days supplies,
a saving Of money is the result, and
consequently the markets have been
SO well patronized that the scheme is
quite past the experimental stage now,
and plans are being made for an nor
nous central market that will serve as
a distributing point for the smaller
ones.
1t is of course a little trouble to put
a basket on ones arm and trudge sew
eral blocks to market, but it pays. Not
only are there thirty-six dealers in
stead Of one or two from whom to buy,
but everything is cheaper, as a truck
farmer or fruit-grower can afford to
sell his things for less when he stays
in one place and reaches all of the
housekeepers in the neighborhood,
than when he spends the morning
driving from house to house.
Even with the small fees demanded,
the actual running expenses of the
markets are paid out of them. so that
everyone is benefited and not even the
city loses anything in this way. And
the professions of housewives with
market baskets on their arms that
appear three times a week doubtless
constitute the most formidable set
back that the high cost of living bug
bear has met with anywhere in it's
victorious onslaught Upon the long
suffering housekeeper.
