Strong Cheese: 'Supply Much Stronger, But Very Little Demand' - A Fragrant Illustration of Commodity Market Dynamics, 1903 This intriguing postcard from the Market Reports illustrated series offers a humorous yet insightful depiction of the commodity market's supply and demand dynamics through the fragrant encounter between a waiter and a ripe old blue cheese. The caption, 'Strong Cheese: "Supply much stronger, but very little demand,"' succinctly summarizes the situation in the commodity market, where an oversupply of the commodity often faces limited consumer demand. In this image, the waiter's discomfort and struggle to cope with the pungent fragrance of the cheese are palpable. His brow is furrowed, and sweat drips from his forehead as he attempts to serve the dish to an absent-minded diner. The waiter's mop, once used to clean the kitchen floor, now serves as an unwilling accessory, as he attempts to mask the cheese's pungent aroma. The diner, seemingly oblivious to the waiter's predicament, returns his gaze to the menu, perhaps considering other, less potent options. The platter of cheese, with its severe pong, sits unappetizingly on the tray, its repellant nature evident even to the casual observer. This postcard, with its intricate details, from the kitchen's silverware to the waiter's sweaty brow, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of the commodity market. The cheese, with its strong supply, has defeated not only the waiter but also the would-be diner, illustrating the challenges faced by commodity traders in a market where supply often outweighs demand.
