Rocky Mount market, thereire, furnished a good demonstraon and its plans were copied f other counties who visited and iw what and how things were splayed, type of salesmanship, id what was set in operation i improve standards. What They Sold In the first markets women irried just what they could find 1 the farm to the market place, id vegetables, poultry, butter, fgs, hams, sausage, and flowers !1 began to increase on the farm, ne seller carried a clothes bas?t full of headed lettuce on her rst effort at selling and in a lort time after she arrived at le market found her Basket npty. She went home puzzled j to what she would add the ext week and decided to try le cakes she had been taught to lake at her Home Demonstraon Club. She sold her cakes jickly and received orders for lore, and incidentally she built a a cake trade that brought in ross returns of $18,666 in the in years she sold on the mar;t. And so it went. Marketing was lilt from simple beginnings. Selrs were not debarred because ley brought ungraded products i the market. It did not take lem long to see that eggs all of re color or size packed in a irton would bring five cents lore per dozen than a job lot irelessly displayed in an old aard box; and that Irish potaies freed from dirt, rubbed and raded brought more than an ill ssortment with the dirt from le field clinging to them. In a rord, a woman learned through a appeal to her pocketbook bejuse she had found that some lore enterprising saleswoman 'ould capture the trade if she antinued to practice slovenly lethods. Market Committee Almost from the beginning a larket committee composed of irm women and consumers was lected in each market by those slling and it does much to settle roblems, help define policies, nd assist in determining prices. Sanitary Regulations Sanitary regulations are being bserved in many markets and o much to impress the public ith what is done to protect the HPORT, N. C. t, food it buys, they are usually isplayed in the market space of r~ the cellers. In Cumberland county these regulations road: This home is screened, and has approved water supply, . has approved toilet facilities, has health certificate for all sellers: all members have I been vaccinated against ty- j phoid fever within past three < . years. Housing Today the farm women would not think of wasting time peddling what she has from door to door as she formerly did, but to pack the Ford with the things she can easily spare from the garden or dairy, and drive up to! a building that has been specially set aside for her at the county j seat or some other town in the county is quite another matter, i And, today, 34 home demonstra- J tion markets are in buildings vhich house them comfortably | nd 13 of these buildings were ilanned and constructed especialy for markets. Growth ; The farm women's market has i grown and . given . satisfaction ! thrnmrh honest weights nnri fnefl-1 ures, reliable products, constant- I y advancing- standards, and a | riendly, wholesome personnel v/hich has created a buying public that likes what it Duys and ells its neighbors about it. Today, 1939, there are 42 farm v/omen's markets in North Carolina with 1697 producers selling regularly and they did a business in 1938 of $309,149.99. Other types of farm women's marketing and as shipping to Institutions, m e r c ha n ts, etc., brought in returns of $311,269.74 making a grand total of $620,19.73 for farm marketing in 938. The largest individual sales or 1938 were made by Mrs. Goron Gainey, of Cumberland couny who received $1,915.74 for iroducts of her farm. Mrs. Cornelia Morris, the efficient home emonstration Market Specialist, aj's Mrs. Gainey's total sales rom the time she began selling, October 1931 to November 1938 amounted to $9,453.16, which was an average of $1,350.45 per year. Telling of the hard work necessary to accomplish so great an undertaking, Mrs. Gainey says: "I fear it has shortened my ife several years, but marketing has made it possible for me to spend what is left of life in a 1^ good comfortable home which we I NOW ERECT t On The Unmarkei ;; |j i It is the finest gestur You'll like our Mem We established a m< counties at the request of i G.
