ets give the women who sell on
the markets an Increasing aware
ness of wise money management.
The progress of the curb mark
et program 1s indicated in the in-'
crease of 1967 sales over previous
years. It seems almost unbeliev
able that the total sales In the 36
curb markets came to 9X5,767.82
In 1957, ami more than 600 sell
ers had Increased their Incomes.
The total 1957 sales represents an
increase of $7,189.75 over 1956.
To what does the state-wide pro
gram owe this Increase? Miss
Pritchard has said that "market
sales without exception have
greatly increased in 10 instances
since curb market day was chang
ed on these 10 markets from Sat
urday morning until Friday after
noon. All ten markets are much
happier now that they are open
on Friday rather than Saturday."
Even though the curb (markets
are sponsored by home demonstra
tion organizations in eich county
where they are located, anyone
who is willing to abide by the
rules and regulations as set up by
the sellers can: sell 6n the market.
In every 'case, : the home demon
stration agent acts as advisor for
all market activities. All curb
markets' are producer's, markets
and no buying and reselling ! is
permitted- '
When Risked what about the out
look for 1958 on North Carolina
curb markets. Miss pritchard in
dicated that it's "very promising,"
She pointed out that there are
opportunities fQr more sellers on
existing markets and potentials
for opening at leasts two more
markers. >, t ,
Twelve of the 36 markets bring
in annually more than $10,000.
The largest market, located fii
Mecklenburg County,', brought in
$52,498.01 in 1957, an increase of
almost $2,000 over 1956. The great
est advancement was on the On
slow County market, whose sales
jumped from $1,001.22 to $7,461.
83 in one year's time.
