Burlington-Alamance County's New Curb Market a Success, May 29, 1924

Burlington, May 28—Saturday was the second day of the Burlington and Alamance’s new curb market, and it had 20 new producers at the lot on South Main street. There were not as many townspeople as on the previous Saturday, but buying was good and more than $100 worth was sold. The space was not large enough and the promoters, the county agents, hope to have larger space next week. Charles B. Cole made the largest sales, amounting to $15. The prices are arranged by Burlington people, who are appointed on a committee by the chamber of commerce and by the county council of demonstration workers. The movement is gaining favor, and when the people become accustomed to it, it will be a mutual advantage for the farmers and the housekeepers.
