Roadside Markets
Not how to produce, but how
to sell profitably, is the problem
of every farmer. Improved roads
and travel by automobile open a
new outlet for farm produce —
Roadside Markets. They are be
coming common in some sections
but there is room for more of
them in Georgia.
A good signboard about a mile
awav in each direction will cause
many to stop who might pass
and not care to back up.
