COUNTY TRUCKERS
 IMPROVE MARKET
Milan in Charge of Retail De- partment-To Keep Long
 Hours

The Jefferson county truckers, who operate the city market at Morris avenue and Twenty fourth street, have determined to establish a retail section that is to be kept open for some time after the truckers shall have gone home.
 W. J. Milan has been named to take charge of this market, which is to be opened by Saturday next, ac- cording to present plan.
 The idea of the retail market with in the general market is the special convenience of the housewife who cannot get to the general market early in the day and who wishes to purchase in small quantities.
 In conducting the retail market the housewife is not to be charged more than 25 per cent above the wholesale price. If she buys in wholesale lots she will get the wholesale price.
 Among other rules of the retail market are these:
 All produce must be sound and in good condition.
 All produce bought by the market manager for the retail market must be purchased through a member of the Truckers association.
 All produce sold by the retail mar ket manager must be grown on Ala bama soil.
 All produce sold at retail by the market manager shall not exceed 25 per cent of the wholesale cost from the producer.
 All produce must be of uniform size and grade throughout the package.
 We are gradually whipping the market into the performance which we wish to give the housewife" said County Agent H. L. Brown, and the retail market will go long way in that direction, both by reason of be- ing open at later hours and by af- fording opportunity to purchase in any quantity desired. It will In no way interfere with the regular mar ket. but merely supplement it's ser yice !"
