| Summary | "A Terminal Market System, New York's Most Urgent Need: Some Observations, Comments and Comparisons of European Markets" by Mrs. Elmer Black is a civic publication written in the early 20th century. The book discusses the pressing need for an effective terminal market system in New York City, comparing existing food distribution systems in various European cities. It aims to highlight how a well-administered market could benefit both consumers and the city's economy by reducing intermediary costs and improving food quality. In this book, Mrs. Elmer Black meticulously examines the inadequacies of New York's current food markets while providing detailed observations of successful municipal markets in cities such as London, Paris, and Berlin. She argues that New York's market system is outdated and insufficient for its growing population, presenting a financial deficit instead of a profit. The author emphasizes the advantages offered by European terminal markets, including stringent inspections and efficient operations that not only lower costs for consumers but also generate revenue for municipal authorities. By advocating for a modern terminal market system, Black hopes to inspire community support for this crucial civic enhancement. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
