MOTHER MUNRO LEADS
WOMEN ON BUYING TOUR
Kensington Launches Co-opera-
tive Marketing Plan and
Finds Relief in Scheme

Kensington housewives today launched
cooperative marketing campaign. Parties
Of women armed with baskets and deter
mination to boycott any article Of food
priced at an eXorbitant figure. left the
home OF Mrs. Hugh r. Munro, 1917 North
Fifth street soon after the breakfast hour.
Headed by Mother" Munro, one Of the
little groups. went TO Dock street, second
party proceeded to the North Second street
market section. while a third canVassed the
produce and FISH markets along South
street. More than two hours were spent In
the tour of the shops and stalls. About
twenty women were In the delegation
At the conclusion of their quest the
housewives returned TO their homes with
well-aden baskets Their purchases en-
hraccd meats, fish vegetables and fruit
They expressed themselves as pleased with
tho result Of their first conceived attempt
to reduce living expenses through the CO.
operative plan Of buying and the boycott
Of edibles held at prices beyond the average
working mans pocketbook.
CALLED A SUCCESS
We canvasscd Dock street pretty thor
ouEhly." said Mrs. Munro, as she emerged
from her pilgrimage and set down her
heavily laden basket Our trip was a
success and we found that generally speak
Ing, vegetables were cheaper in price than
they are in our home sections. We bought
no potatoes or onions, and we do not IN
tond to touch these two vegetables until the
prices come down. The general scale Of
prices i'm Dock street. while below that
charged In our neighborhood, is higher
| than we have been paying to farmers who
bring their produce direct to our homes,
For carrots we paid eighty cents a
| basket OF eight quarter pecks In this way
| basket. If they dealt individually at the
| stores they would have to pay much more.
| Eggplants cost us Sl40 a basket and we
| will divide them up so that we will save on
| them also Down In the fish market we got
| good fish for Ave and six cents pound,
| and we noticed that the dealers had a large
| stock Of all kinds Of fish on hand. Apples
! we did not touch but they were to he had
| at 81 30. S5 and $3.50 a barrel.
FIND MEAT CHEAP
when we finished our tour Of the vege-
! table and fish markets we bought meat
| There was general falling off from the
| small-store prices for the better cuts, hut
| we did not touch these. We bought good
! shin meat a. ten cents a pound which /,
| from two to four cents below the price
| charged i'm our neighborhood.
THE women with me are all wives o
| workingmen and their means do not perm
them to buy the choicer cuts Of meat a
