Download or read book The Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Peoria Classic Reprint written by Samuel Wesley Decker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Market for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables in Peoria In order to have a basis for dealing with some of the problems which the changing conditions just outlined have created, a survey was made of the Peoria, Illinois, fresh fruit and vegetable market. Since the problems facing all vegetable growers around Illinois cities are of the same general nature, it seemed advisable to concentrate upon one market and to make a detailed study of the marketing problems within that one area. Peoria was chosen because it represents one of the larger industrial centers of the state outside of Chicago. The data were collected chiefly in 1935 by representatives of the Agricultural Experiment Station. A few additional facts were obtained for 1936. Interviews were held with a large number of consumers in different districts of the city; the origin and the disposal of different varieties of produce entering the market were studied; detailed infor mation was obtained from a considerable number of retail stores of different types in the city; Operations on the local public market were checked carefully; surveys were made of the vegetables used by a typical group of eating places in the city and of the operations of various wholesale produce dealers in the area.

Download or read book Exploring the Architecture of Place in America s Farmers Markets written by Kathryn Clarke Albright and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the Architecture of Place in America's Public and Farmers Markets draws attention to the simple but elusive architectural space of public and farmers markets. It discusses three seminal types of markets--heritage building, open-air pavilion, and pop-up canopy-- demonstrating the characteristics of each type using a mixture of narrative and illustration. The narrative combines historically informed architectural observation with interview material drawn from conversations the author has had over the years with market managers, vendors, and shoppers. The illustrations include an appealing variety of photos, diagrams, and drawings that enabled the author to view each market through an architectural lens based on eight scales of measure--the hand, the container, the person, the stall, a grouping of stalls, the street, the block, and the market's situation within the neighborhood. Some of the architectural elements discussed include walls that layer, openings that frame, roofs that encompass, and niches that embrace. While each of the case studies illustrates shared characteristics of one of the architectural typologies, each farmers market is distinct in the specific ways it reflects the local culture and environment. Ultimately, in viewing markets through these three types and eight scales of measure we are able to better appreciate how farmers markets foster social interaction and community engagement. The book concludes with a broad look at the way of life and living that public and farmers markets have spawned, while looking ahead to what the author sees as an emerging new typology - the mobile market - which takes the bounty of local farmers to neighborhoods underserved with fresh healthy food, and otherwise known as food deserts. Market vendors speak enthusiastically about the qualitative benefits that farming life allows, and the greater good their individual choice provides for the general public and region. Likewise, a spectrum of governmental, commerce and community leaders champion the economic development farmers markets catalyze through allied business development and civic commitment.

Download or read book Pricing Eggs at Wholesale in Chicago and St Louis Classic Reprint written by Norris Taylor Pritchard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pricing Eggs at Wholesale in Chicago and St. Louis The structure of the Chicago egg market is complex and changing. At least two distinctly different systems of assembling, distributing, and pricing eggs are in compe tition. At one extreme are large corporate food chains with fully integrated egg market ing operations. They buy eggs from farmers on a grade-size basis at their country grading stations, where the eggs are cartoned for sale through their retail stores. Other chains buy cartoned eggs from independent country assemblers. Eggs purchased by the chains handling upwards of 40 percent of total egg receipts in Chicago are received largely from country points in consumer cartons. The chains rarely buy eggs from Chicago wholesalers and do not trade in eggs on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Several independent egg distributors also buy cartoned eggs from country shippers for resale to retail stores. Probably more than half of the estimated 5. 4 million cases of eggs received annually in the metropolitan area are received in consumer cartons direct from country points. The proportion of wholesale graded and ungraded eggs in 30 dozen cases has been declining. The integrated and partly integrated egg marketing firms generally follow an in formal, relatively flexible quotation pricing system in determining prices to country shippers. Both New York and Chicago egg quotations are used as base prices. Firms buying from farmers at the firms' own grading stations pay prevailing competitive prices in the vicinity of the stations.

Download or read book Chicago Noir The Classics Akashic Noir written by Joe Meno and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this superior entry in Akashic's noir series, Meno offers nearly a century of Chicago crime fiction....Familiar bylines abound: Max Allan Collins, Richard Wright, Nelson Algren, Sherwood Anderson, Fredric Brown, Patricia Highsmith (with an excerpt from her novel The Price of Salt), Stewart M. Kaminsky, Sara Paretsky. Others may be less familiar to mystery specialists, but all turn in impressive performances." --Publishers Weekly, Starred review "Richard Wright, Nelson Algren, and Sandra Cisneros are not crime-fiction writers, and yet their Chicago certainly embodies the individual-crushing ethos endemic to noir. Meno also includes stories from writers who could easily have been overlooked (Percy Spurlark Parker, Hugh Holton) to ensure that diverse voices, and neighborhoods, are represented. Add in smart and essential choices from Fredric Brown, Sara Paretsky, and Stuart Kaminsky, and you have not an anthology not for crime-fiction purists, perhaps, but a thought-provoking document all the same." --Booklist "The fifteen short stories comprising Chicago Noir: The Classics, which are knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Joe Meno, are true gems of the noir literary tradition....Chicago Noir: The Classics is a consistently entertaining and will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to community library Mystery/Suspense collections." --Midwest Book Review "I've always enjoyed reading noir. Dark, ironic mysteries are a good read to me. Since this collection includes old classics as well as some new stories, I knew it would be good....I wasn't disappointed." --Journey of a Bookseller "Chicago Noir The Classics does everything anthologies and noir are supposed to, but this title achieves an unheralded goal that deserves notice....This is wonderful diversity, coming both unexpected and unhearalded. Anthologies are supposed to convey a sense of having covered the territory, Joe Meno has. Ethnically diverse city, ethnically diverse plots. Better, Chicago Noir The Classics showcases diversity as normal, everyday. This adds inescapable satisfaction to a sense of the editor's having covered the territory." --La Bloga "A worthy addition to the Akashic Books noir series." --Book Chase Although Los Angeles may be considered the most quintessentially "noir" American city, this volume reveals that pound-for-pound, Chicago has historically been able to stand up to any other metropolis in the noir arena. Classic reprints from: Harry Stephen Keeler, Sherwood Anderson, Max Allan Collins, Richard Wright, Nelson Algren, Fredric Brown, Patricia Highsmith, Barry Gifford, Stuart M. Kaminsky, Libby Fischer Hellmann, Sara Paretsky, Percy Spurlark Parker, Sandra Cisneros, Hugh Holton, and Stuart Dybek. From the introduction by Joe Meno: "More corrupt than New York, less glamorous than LA, Chicago has more murders per capita than any other city its size. With its sleek skyscrapers bisecting the fading sky like an unspoken threat, Chicago is the closest metropolis to the mythical city of shadows as first described in the work of Chandler, Hammett, and Cain. Only in Chicago do instituted color lines offer generation after generation of poverty and violence, only in Chicago do the majority of governors do prison time, only in Chicago do the dead actually vote twice. "Chicago--more than the metropolis that gave the world Al Capone, the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre, the death of John Dillinger, the crimes of Leopold and Loeb, the horrors of John Wayne Gacy, the unprecedented institutional corruption of so many recent public officials, more than the birthplace of Raymond Chandler--is a city of darkness. This darkness is not an act of over-imagination. It's the unadulterated truth. It's a pointed though necessary reminder of the grave tragedies of the past and the failed possibilities of the present. Fifty years in the future, I hope these stories are read only as fiction, as somewhat distant fantasy. Here's hoping for some light."

Download or read book Hayek written by Bruce Caldwell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2022-11-25 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2022 Economist Best Book of the Year. The definitive account of the distinguished economist’s formative years. Few twentieth-century figures have been lionized and vilified in such equal measure as Friedrich Hayek—economist, social theorist, leader of the Austrian school of economics, and champion of classical liberalism. Hayek’s erudite arguments in support of individualism and the market economy have attracted a devout following, including many at the levers of power in business and government. Critics, meanwhile, cast Hayek as the intellectual forefather of “neoliberalism” and of all the evils they associate with that pernicious doctrine. In Hayek: A Life, historians of economics Bruce Caldwell and Hansjörg Klausinger draw on never-before-seen archival and family material to produce an authoritative account of the influential economist’s first five decades. This includes portrayals of his early career in Vienna; his relationships in London and Cambridge; his family disputes; and definitive accounts of the creation of The Road to Serfdom and of the founding meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society. A landmark work of history and biography, Hayek: A Life is a major contribution both to our cultural accounting of a towering figure and to intellectual history itself.

Download or read book Southern Provisions written by David S. Shields and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From grits to deep-fried okra, from barbecue to corn bread, Southern food stirs greater loyalty and passion than any American cuisine. Yet as the crops that once defined it have disappeared, much of the flavor has leeched out of Southern cookery until today. Thanks to a community of devoted chefs and farmers, and one indefatigable historian, Southern heirloom greens and grains and with them America s greatest cuisine--are being revived. Searching the archives for evidence of how nineteenth-century farmers bred their enormous variety of vegetables and grains, and of their contemporaries tastes and cooking practices, David S. Shields has become a key figure in the effort to reboot Southern cuisine. "Southern Provisions" draws on ten years of research and activism to tell the story of a quintessentially American cuisine that was all but forgotten, and the lessons that its restoration holds for the revival of regional cuisines across the country. Shields vividly evokes the connections between plants, plantations, growers, seed brokers, markets, vendors, cooks, and consumers. He shows how the distinctiveness of local ingredients arose from historical circumstances and a confluence of English, French Huguenot, West African, and Native American foodways. Shields emphasizes the Southern Lowcountry, from the peanut patches of Wilmington, North Carolina; to the Truck Farms of the Charleston Neck, South Carolina; to the sugar cane fields of the Georgia Sea Islands; to the citrus groves of Amelia Island, Florida. But the book also takes up the cuisine of New Orleans and other areas of the South and the nation, and even the West Indies. Offering a fascinating panorama of America s culinary past, "Southern Provisions" also shows how the renovation of traditional southern ingredients will enable cooks to take regional cuisine into the future."
