Such words as “Best Ever,” “Try It!” “No Sale Sunday” may be used. Too many words are to be avoided as the motorist can not read many easily, nor would he if he could. Two or three easily read words will differentiate one sign from another, and are enough to make one sign a sign to be remembered where another is forgotten. It is much easier for him to remember your place if there is something distinctive about it he is much more apt to think of your honey each time he sees your distinctive features than he would be were he to see merely your sign and your house and it is much easier to direct others to you if you have something which distinguishes you from all others who have honey for sale. “Something distinctive about the sign and the lawn will not only aid in causing the motorist to stop, but will also be a big help in bringing them back again. Selling Honey at Roadsides: How Tons of Honey Can Be Sold At Good Prices At Little Expense. The Connecticut laws regarding advertising on private property and highways is given in the Appendix.” p. In putting up signs one should be sure to see that he doesn’t violate the state laws regarding advertising on private property and public highways. Signs ought only be put up when goods are actually to be had. They should preferably be durable and attractive and easily taken down when the stand is closed for the season so as not to lead people to believe that “fresh fruits or vegetables” are offered for sale when such is not the case. Signs should be large enough to be read at a distance and should not be so located as to be hidden from view because of curves in the road. Whenever it is necessary to leave the main highway in order to reach the stand, signs should be placed at frequent intervals designating the direction in which to travel. This notice will give the occupants of automobiles sufficient time to slow down and prepare to stop. Along the highway at a distance of 500 feet in either direction a sign ought to be placed advising the passerby that he is approaching a roadside market and what special product is offered for sale.

To designate the direction in which the stand is located, or to call attention of the driver to the fact that he is approaching one.Ģ. Mehl, Paul The Connecticut Agricultural College Extension Service Bulletin Number 65ġ. A well-filled farm- home pantry with satisfying form and color balance, and with proper variety and food balance for the family's annual food supply, is often a work of art that lifts those who fill it to a higher plane of living and an appreciation of beauty in work well done." p. Near the stand was placed an attractive farm-home pantry shown by the Texas Extension Service. When artistically filled with fruits, flowers, eggs, grains, meats, jellies, jams, honey, beeswax, herbs, corn, peppers, and other farm products, it gave just the aesthetic rural note needed. The roadside stand was unusually attractive in design and color. The exhibits were kept fresh by daily replacement by one of the men in the Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and Agricultural Engineering. "Balancing the pottery cabinet at the opposite or east end of the gallery was an attractive roadside stand designed by members of the Millbrook Garden Club of New York State, who came to Washington to dress it up. From the point of view of the farm family these considerations must be weighed when comparing the advantages of different methods of marketing from the point of view of the customer they should be remembered when the prices are considered.” p. “Hours of attendance at roadside markets are necessarily long, the work is particularly heavy on holidays and on Sundays, the task of gathering and preparing the products must usually be done very early in the morning, and attendance at the stand, hour after hour, is often monotonous. They think that this type of roadside market has just as much economic justification for its existence as though the products offered were grown by the marketer himself.” p. Officials in Ohio, on the other hand, find no disadvantage in the selling, at roadside markets, of products brought in hundreds or even thousands of miles, provided no deception is practiced.
“The officials in this State believe in making a distinction between products that have been raised near by and those that have been brought a considerable distance for sale.
