Retail Stores. 



There are 29 retail food stores in Keene, of which 5 are members of 

 chain-store systems, 3 retail fruit stores, and 10 sell meat. 



Farmers' Marketing Organizations. 



Most farm sales in the county are made privately. A few poultrymen 

 sell their eggs through the New Hampshire Co-operative Marketing 

 Association ; farmers close to Bellows Falls and Brattleboro sell their milk 

 and cream through co-operative milk plants; and in the southwestern 

 part of the county the tobacco growers market most of their crop through 

 the Connecticut Valley Tobacco Association. Taking the county as a 

 whole, co-operative marketing organizations are not very active.
