ROADSIDE MARKETS
ARE PROFITABLE
Prove Excellent Channels for Moving
Farm Products Quickly
at Good Prices.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July h
Roadside markets are direct ways OF
marketing capable of far greater deyei-
opment around Springfield, and In most
of Massachusetts. believe X J. Moran
and Josiah c. Folsom of the department
of economics at NJ. \. G. These experts
feel that such markets are excellent chan
nels for moving farm products quickly
and economically direct from the growers
to the consumers. and are especially use
full near large ceHters of population.
At present such stands are poorly dis
tributed throughout the state, even III re-
gions of fairly dense automobile traffic,
the most logical situations for them. The
economists say that the secret of what
ever success these stands have had lies
in two ThingS-they enable city people
to buy their fresh fruit and vegetables
direct from the farm. and they afford the
cheapest system of distribution Of this
class of food. for they turn to some prac-
teal account the joy-riding of our many
automobilistS.
Prices. say the experts, should be
planned SO that the farmer will make
more than he would by selling to whole
saIers. and at the same time the customer
will save something over the regular &c
tail price Again. the farmer who ap-
prcciates that large output AT reason
able price will give him the most money
is in the long run, the most successful
farmer.
Profs McFall and Folsom urge care
full consideration of the location of road
side stands, since the convenience of au-
tomobile customers has to be considered.
Part way up a hill. far away from the
road, or at the foot of a hill, are all poor
places. Some spot should be picked,
where the sign may be seen from some
distance. or where cars must slow up. as
around a sharp curve. Once there mar
keterS must induce their customers to re-
turn by displaying variety in their prod
ucts and by keeping their supplies always
fresh. Clean, fresh products are the adj
vertisement for such a market say the
economists
