Public Squares First
of Worlds Markets

Erection of buildings to serve the
purpose originally met by public
squares did moi become common I'M
TIL the Eighteenth century, yet as
early as 1900 the grain market of
Florence, Italy was housed be-
meath massive architecture, while
in Constantinople and famous east
efn cities, certain streets had long
been covered over to shut out the
blazing sun. These streets, rele-
gated to the various trades, made
up the great bazaars of the Orient.
Among their narrow intersections
one is bewildered by exotic sights
and doors, one moment dazZled by
silks, swords, beads and tinery, and
the next overpowered by cheeseS,
dried meats and overripe fruits. In
comparison to the iImbled chaos
of the bazaar, the markets of the
Western world seem orderly and
clean. Marketing in its 0ld-time
sense Is no longer worldwide
practice, for the function of the
market has enlarged and extended
beyond the street and public
square.-The Independent.
