SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920 : The Public Market The establishment of the public market may help those who are able to patronize it to save a few dollars on the monthly grocery bills. Lower prices will prevail, materially, lower prices, because there is no rent to be . paid by the farmers who sell their produce, no delivery service, no loss to stand from bad accounts, no long- term credit customers to carry. The public market offers a correc- tion of existing evils in the distribu- "tion of food-materials, but it also of- fers possibilities of infliction of in- {justice upon the grocers who cannot escape -being adversely affected by the direct sale of articles which con- stitute a part of their stock in trade The public mar- ket cannot take the place of the es- tablished grocery store in the lives of the people of the community be-t cause of its limited service, its tem- = porary character and its lack of affi- " liation with the community as a mu- nicipality. There can be no sense of obligation to observe the welfare of the community where their is 'no community to interest, except the exchange of a few fresh vegetables for the money of a few of the people. There has to be an established rela- tion between customer and merchant --a relation based upon something " more than the article that is offered for sale. It is not be-found in the itinerant peddler nor in the tempor- ary dispenser of vegetables and fruits at the sidewalk's edge. The New Trier residents generally speaking, are rather~disposed to ex- pect and to demand convenience in their shopping. They require a large assortment from which to choose the article to be purchased. They expect "the best in quality and full measure in quantity. They are not long con- tent with a condition 'that imposes the consumption of time in market- ing under inconvenient circumstan- ces. They will not long patronize exclusively a public market that ne- cessitates personal attendance and self-delivery of the materials pur- chased. They will never fully with- draw their patronage from the gro- ceries and markets to which they have been accustomed to go with their needs, but they will in all prob- ability forget to give to the estab- lished shops the credit of standing ready to meet their requirements. The Hospital Annex The very great need for greater hospital space in recent winters im- presses upon the general north shore public the importance of having the new Evanston hospital annex com- pleted before the grip and influenza season opens. The promise that it will be ready for occupancy by De- cember first affords a satisfaction to those who recognize the community value of a hospital such as ours that cannot be measured by the need that they individually feel for it. Few people realize what an insur- ance against tragedy the presence of a well equipped hospital near at hand affords. Not until the emergency comes does the average person rec- ognize how unconsciously he has placed his dependence upon the hos- pital. That the institution will be much more adequate to the demands that are made upon it, that there will be fewer chances of disappoint- ing those who have emergency need service should be a general public.
