In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of Lhe whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving 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 owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary-division of profit* which he would not receive from any other organisation.
