sold in this market, including fruits, vegetables, meats, groceries, 
delicatessen foods, and sea food. The sea-food division is a separate 
section, set off from the rest of the market with a partition. Four 
fisheries firms occupy stalls in this department. 
The fixtures in the sea-food department are arranged for the proper 
and sanitary display of sea foods. Each stall consists of a counter 
with a white-tile front. Midway between the floor and the top of 
the front of the counter is a brass shelf, upon which to rest a market 
basket. The top of the counter is a series of sunken porcelain pans 
about 8 inches deep and 3 feet long, much resembling a series of 
kitchen sinks, placed end toend. Crushed ice is placed in these trays,

garmishes, and present a very appetizing product. Extending up 
from the top of the front of the counter for about 12 inches and then 
inward for about 12 inches is a glass covering. Electric lights inclosed 
in nickel boxes, with the light reflected down upon the fish, are 
arranged along the top section of the glass inclosure. The fish can 
not be handled by the customer, but can be handled easily by the 
salesmen. To the rear of each stall are tables upon which to clean 
or otherwise prepare the fish. Each stall is provided with hot and 
cold running water. Insulated cold rooms are provided in the base- 
ment for each dealer. The floors of the aisles are of polished concrete 
and the walls are of tile. Electric lights hung from the ceiling provide 
general light. In the summer all the exits and windows are provided 
with screens, to exclude both insects and dust. Each salesman is 
required to wear white clothes. The interior of this market is clean, 
sanitary, and of pleasing appearance. Prices for fishery products
