Baltimore's wholesale markets were the working core of the city's food supply, where farmers, hucksters and commission merchants bought and sold produce, meat and dairy in bulk before goods moved on to grocers and households. Markets like these were busiest in the early morning, when wagons lined the streets and goods were unloaded, weighed and haggled over in open sheds and stalls. The picture shows the trade as a daily, physical business of the early twentieth century, when city markets still depended on horse-drawn delivery and the rhythms of the surrounding countryside. Its subject is useful for understanding how urban Baltimore was fed before refrigerated trucking reshaped the supply chain.
