Advertisement TextThe place where over 30,000 people do their buying every day. Where prices are lowest and cost of living made cheaper. The public market caters to all classes of people and offers goods to the consumer on the very lowest margin. Cheap rents, cash trade and heavy patronage make this possible. All vegetables sold at the public market are gathered on day of sale. There is no middleman's profit to pay as they are sold by the men who grow them.
Contextual NotesOn August 17, 1907, farmers offered six to twelve wagons of produce to customers at Pike Place Market. Recognizing the market's immediate success, real estate developer Frank Goodwin constructed buildings with 76 produce stalls.
