Consumer's Cooperative Fine
~Retail Distribution System...

By PETER JACQUETTE |

-~ Continued from dast weelg

There is a system of retaj] | distribution, wherein: the consume:
keeps these trade profits in his
own pocket, thus increasing his
purchasing pcwer. It is ~known
as CONSUMER~S' COOPERATIVE
and originated at Rochdale, ~England in 1844, with 28 weavers who
were thoroughly discouraged with
their helplessness facing low
wages and high food prices.

For the saxe of brevity I am
using the following method which
wall contain about 84 years of
*valuable. information, but, you will
have to take the time to gather
them by reading between the lines.

Here are some of the principles
Which insure their success, they
attend to businéss in d~ diisinesslike way, they respect the rights ~of
others though unlearned he or she
may be, they insist on a strictly
cash business, they supply the best
quality of goods af full weight~ and
measure... by rebating: profits to
members in. proportion to purchase, by -inducing members *0
leave their profits in thebusiness
at five~ percent; jast but not: least
two and. one half: per cent of all
profits were from.the beginning
set aside for edticational: fund to
spread the idea of consumers~ cOoperation.~ As a~ result. of ~ those
urinciples it~s membership runs into hundreds of coger poh ~over

Today aS each of us searches the -
market for bargains, we wonder
what will ~become of us when the
big motiopolies and chdins have
completely killed out the small independent merchants and manufacturers. Mv* enswer is Constmers~ Cooperation is our chly hope.

For this week's closing let me
say, we in the churches are in need
