The organized marketing of dairy produce dates back further in Holland than perhaps in any other country in the world. For more than two hun- dred years rather a novel system of iselling cheese has been in existence in some markets of that country. The cheese are brought from the factories or the farms, as the case may be, and arranged in heaps on the market square. Buyers and sellers come to-l gether and dicker over the price. y sale is consummated by the tworpar-I ties striking the open palms of their hands together.
