From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, June 13, 1926: “From producer to consumer” is the slogan of the new producers’ market (farmers’ market) at South and New Jersey Streets which was dedicated yesterday afternoon with a parade over downtown streets. Led by a brass band, twenty-five decorated floats and trucks began the parade at the new market site, looping their way through downtown streets before returning to the market where speeches were delivered by officers of the producers’ association and city and state officials. Covering nearly a city block, the market is being financed and built by the Vegetable Growers’ Association of Indianapolis. It will officially open at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday with ninety-three producers and twelve retailers with stands offering vegetables. Fruits, berries, poultry, eggs, and butter will be sold by stand holders beginning the latter part of the week.
