In the window there are specimens of both fresh and dried fish. They are. shown in the cool, pure air provided by electric fans, and in an atmosphere sweet with tho perfume of roses. Inside, stocks aro kept in a concrete ices chest, recently installed. ft is replenished by fresh fish daily. .Some of those who entered the shop found that they had discovered a means of coping with tho most difficult problem of the day, tho cost of living, for there they purchased a food article that is cheap, as well ns good.
