WHITE APRONS FOR FARMERS MARKET

A scale of maximum prices to be charged at the farmers’ market will be fixed by a farm bureau committee, to be posted at the market stalls.

The wearing of white aprons by attendants at the stalls is also to be adopted as a uniform practice, and all commodities needing wrapping will go out in clean wrapping paper. Another improvement will be the installing of three meat blocks, the donation of Ole Peterson.
