ROADSIDE MARKETING
IN DELAWARE
Bureau of Markets Points Out
Advantages.


The Roadside marketing in Della.
ware is rapidly becoming a very i'm.
portant means of marketing Della
wares farm products, and is to be
considered by the farmers in theiI
general marketing plan.
This is beyond a question the most
economical method of marketing pro-
duce, inasmuch as it is placed direct
ly in the hands of the consumer. The
Roadside merchant should not lose
sight of the fact that this is a won
derful opportunity not only for him to
build up his own business, but also to
acquaint the consumers with the ex-
cellent quality of the farm products
of Delaware.
When farm products are handled in
the regular way there is some excuse
for the consumer not receiving Della
ware products in strictly first class
condition, due to delay in transit or in
handling, however, when the Della
ware farmer has the opportunity of
placing his products directly in the
consumers hands for cash and with
out the expense of transportation and
handling, he should not overlook the
fact that his business methods and the
grade that he sells will be basis for
future dealing. The successful Road
side merchants are those who have
established a reputation for their pro-
ducts with motorists who have mem
ory of satisfactory purchases and who
become a regular customer.
The city man who is privileged to
oh hrr
bile appreciates the opportunity of
buying farm products direct from the
farmer, and he will naturally tell his
friends and neighbors Of the quality
Of the product that he purchased, and
it is hoped that this quality will al
ways be spoken of in the highest
terms. The Roadside market not only
offers an opportunity for selling the
best grades, but also, the cheaper |
grades, however, they should be sep
arated so that the buyer who is will
ing to pay the price for fancy stock,
nay have the privilege of obtaining |
,ancy stock, and the buyer who is not |
lutte so particular as to size and |
Iuality, should also be able to fulfill
lis wants. Any products that are not
produced on the farm, but are offered
Is an accommodation, should not be
sold as fresh Delaware produce, but
should be plainly marked as to where
hey come from.
This summer will no doubt bring
developments in Roadside
marketing in the way of furnishing
improved service to the public. Many
,roprietors of the successful roadside
markets of last season are planning to
xtend their establishments and to
nake their goods more attractive. It
5 possible that community Roadside
larkets will be established in which
roup of farmers can offer a large va
iety than an individual grower, and
here one clerk will be in charge of 1
ales instead of several. It is believ-
d that this method may prove more q
rofitable than marketing individually. I
and Consumers should keep /
posted as to market con-
ltions and prevailing prices, this can 0
e done by getting in touch with the i
ureau of Markets at Dover, who will =
Iadly give the information.

Screen Favorite

He who would be my Valentine and
hold my heart in thrall
Must be a king amongst his kind,
the leader of them all.
He must be tall and handsome, with
dark, compelling eyes
That gaze III mine to find the light
that never, never lies.
He must be gentle, kind and good
and love me every day;
No matter if IN by his side or very
far away.
He'd come with me each evening, if
perehance wished to roam;
If not, he'd don his slippers and
gladly stay at home.
Where is he! Don I all talk at once!
He surely must be near!
And when he comes he needn I
speak, I'd know him anywhere
But maybe-and there comes q
thought that makes my heart
feel sore
I've asked for such perfection
they don't make 'em any more.
Imperial Valley press., 1923-02-14

then my ideal man is tall and slen-
der, has a fine shaped head, inter
esting features and particularly ex-
pressive eyes.
He has ideals and a sense of hu-
NOR. He likes music and poetry. He
doesn't think Hamlet was insane,
nor boast that he never read the
Bible. He has the proper perspec-
tive on his relation TO the universe
In other words, my ideal man is
q poet-in his heart, whether his
business is selling bonds or building
bridges.
