 Farmers Prosper On Tourists.
 Many of the farmers along the main turnpike from Meriden to Hart ford prosper on the tourists who pass his door and often times stop to pur- chase vegetables and fruits which he may have displayed in front of his home.
 Last year several small shacks were erected along the highway where the farmers placed their vegetables and fruits for sale usually at price much less than that of the dealers in the city. A few new places have been erected this year and in some in- stances the farmers are running gaso- line stations with their garden truck market,
 It is estimated that there are about 25 shacks in the town of Berlin along the highway where farmers display their products for sale. It is said that the tourists are not the only ones to benefit from buying their goods from the farmer on the road side but that the dealer benefits as well inasmuch as it is not necessary city. In this way time and labor is saved as we'll as money and the farmer can afford to sell at a cheaper price.
