In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus Mving al! middlemen's profits, and the Chief 'Wholesale Co-operative Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25 000 000. This success is owina; to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been Mt to Australia to apply this grand principle to r r , - ...
