The sale of goods or certain merchandise to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional, or other professional people dealing with business, or to other wholesalers and related subordinated service is known as wholesaling. The other word for “wholesaling” would be “jobbing”. “Wholesale” basically stands for the resale of new as well as old and used goods to retailers, to industrial, commercial, institutional or professional users, or to other people commonly known as wholesalers. This involves an agent or a broker who buys merchandise for these persons or companies or sells merchandise to such persons or companies. The main work of these wholesalers would be to gather sort and grade goods in bulk and repack and redistribute the same goods in smaller lots. Wholesalers of most products usually function from independent areas.

The consumption and production of marketed food are spatially separated. Production primarily happens in rural areas whilst consumption occurs in the urban areas. This is wholesale marketing for food products at specific and demarcated wholesale markets, where there is a gathering of wholesale traders.

Mother’s Day brings to my mind the phrase: “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world”. This is inevitably true as despite the spread of westernization and the changing roles of the “mother” throughout the world, the mother is still the most significant character in the family. So, why not dedicate one day solely to love and glorify this woman whom we love?

Mother’s day is celebrated on different days in different parts of the world. It is argued by historians that this day emerged from the concept of the ancient Greek worship of the mother. Similarly the ancient Romans also had another day, Matronalia, which was dedicated to the goddess Juno, and mothers were given gifts on this day. In the United States of America, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May., Mother’s Day was inspired by the British day in the United States and was made famous by social activist, Julia Ward Howe, after the American Civil war. She wanted to unite women against war; she understood and sympathized with the pain of losing a child. In 1912, Anna Jarvis created the Mother’s day International Association, after Julia Ward Howe failed in her noble cause, carrying on from where her mother left off, in 1905.
