VALLEY FARMERS7 MARKET PLANS
OPENING JULY 14; OFFICERS
NAMED; BOOTH APPLICATIONS READY
The Valley Farmers' Market definitely is under way.
Opening dale is set for July 14. In the meantime, it must be
built and put in operation.
Construction will start as soon as volunteer help can be ob
tained.
Dave Bryant already has donated time and equipment to
level the land on Co-Op owned property where the market booths
will be constructed. Most essential building material has been
promised. Other volunteer help is needed to raise the booths.
Miss Florence O. Eby. R.N., who broached the idea, has been
elected market master—no pay.
► _ Applications for space should be made to her at once. Indica
tions are that space will be at a premium. It may be a case of
"first come first served."
Board of directors of the Valley
Farmers’ Market, Inc., elected the
following officers: Howard Es
telle, president; Max Sherrod,
vice-president, and Mrs. Richard
^Washburn, secretary-treasurer.
Rules and regulations for oper
ation of the market were formu
lated, and will be presented to
the members at the next general
meeting. The following rules
were announced:
Market Rules
The market will be open every
Saturday and Sunday from 10
a.m. to 6 p.m. Opening date for
the market will be July 14.
Membership fee is $2 for each
seller at the market in addition
to a minimum charge of $1 or 5
percent (whichever is the great
er) of the gross sales each market
day for the rental of the booths
to each regular weekly seller; and
$1 or 10 percent (whichever is the
greater sum) of the gross sales
each market day for the occa
sional seller.
No live stock will be offered
for sale at this time.
There shall be a minimum set
of prices for articles and provis
, ions for sale in the market and
all persons selling shall sell at
not less than these prices. These
minimum prices will be deter
mined by the market master from
current market prices. No under
selling will be allowed.
Charges Set
All persons selling in the mar
ket shall keep a record of sales
each market day and shall render
to the market master a copy of
such record, and pay the 5 per
* cent or 10 percent tax on the to
tal sales. Notice of intention to
vacate space and surrended the
same shall be in writing to the
market master not less than two
weeks prior to the date of giving
up the same.
One booth will be reserved
free of charge for the use of
homemakers’ clubs and other
service organizations who wish to
sell produce for the benefit of
their club treasuries.
Applications for memberships
and space in the market may now
be made to Miss Eby, market
master. Reservations of space
* should be made at an early date,
as it is anticipated that there will
be more requests for booths than
may be available.
“Every effort will be made to
provide facilities for all who wish
to sell at the market,” Miss Eby
said.
Lost License Plates
Drivers who lose license plates
may apply for duplicates at the
office of U. S. Commissioner Dor
othy Saxton. Also, some lost
plates have been turned in to her
office by the finders.
Why Wait Till He Graduates?
Of course you've planned to open a savings account
for him when he graduates. Most dads and mothers
do. But why wait? Why not give him the incentive
money on his own now—during his formative
years? Why not bring him in now and let him see
how a savings account is opened? Remember, ac
counts are opened for as little as $1.
