Of the Ethical Culture School reported
to Borough President Marks yesterday
that in purchases at the open markets
they saved from 90 to so per cent on
stable produce. String beans and let

got for an equally low price at retail
stores. .
Joseph Hartigan, Commissioner OF
Weights and Measures, is TO confer To-
day with seven New York merchants
on his plan Of having a series OF eX-
positions, each devoted to the interests
of a single business, to boost the made
in the L. s. A." idea. He has received
a score of letters from individual mer-
chants and manufacturers who approve
of the plan and want to exhibit.
George w. Perkins and the market
committee of the Mayors Committee
on Food Supply visited the Wallabout
Market yesterday, where Mr.. Perkins
hopes to have a modern terminal market
established. Members of the United
Retail Grocers' Association, of Brook
lvn. told Commissioner Hartigan yes
terday that a terminal market there
would save them thousands of dollars
annually. They thought that the New
York housewife would be slow to utll-
ize the individual cold storage plant
system, however.
