RETAIL DISPLAY. 



Protection of fishery products displayed in retail markets is largely 

 governed by city ordinance No. 24027, which states, in substance, 

 that all fish on display must be covered with glass or other protective 

 material in such a manner as to exclude, so far as practicable, dust 

 and flies or other insects. , In markets handling fish as a major 

 commodity glass-covered cases with tile bottoms are the rule. 

 Refrigeration of display cases is accomplished in 39 establishments 

 by the use of ice alone, in 5 by pipes running through the cases in such 

 a manner as to support trays or platters, and in 4 by the use of 

 both pipes and ice. 



The smaller varieties, as well as sliced fish, are displayed on white 

 enameled trays by 4 dealers, on white crockery platters by 5, on 

 granite trays by 9, on white enameled and white crockery platters 

 by 13, on white crockery platters and granite trays by 12, and on 

 white enameled platters, white crockery platters, and granite trays 

 by 5. Of this number 40 dealers also place a portion of their display 

 directly on ice. Added attractiveness is lent fish displays in 27 

 establishments by garnishes of lettuce, parsley, etc., which makes a 

 very evident appeal to the appetite. 



ATTITUDE OF RETAIL MEAT DEALERS HANDLING FISH AS A SIDE LINE. 



In Seattle there are 61 retail meat markets carrying fish as a side 

 line. Representing, as these dealers do, over 49 per cent of those 

 coming in direct contact with consumers, their attitude toward the 

 handling of fish is perhaps the best indication of their desire to foster 

 fish trade in their respective communities. Primarily they are inter- 

 ested in the sale of other goods, and according to the statements of a 

 majority of these dealers fish is handled solely to accommodate their 

 customers — a situation also obtaining in a number of other cities, 

 but for which apparently no satisfactory solution has been found. 

 The leading arguments advanced by these dealers, which concur in 

 substance with those advanced by similar dealers in Minneapolis 

 and St. Paul, Minn., may be summed up as follows: (1) The volume 

 of fish business in an individual store does not warrant the exclusive 

 attention of one man, thereby making it necessary for meat cutters 

 to handle fish and meat alternately, which in itself requires repeated 

 washing of hands and detracts from concentration on meat. (2) 

 Considerable time is lost in cleaning fish during rush hours, when 

 quick turnovers in meat are essential. (3) The limited and spasmodic 

 demand for fish causes a material loss through spoilage. (4) The 

 space required for fish could be devoted to meat, which as a single 

 commodity is in better demand.
