THE CO:OFEIiATIVE7BYSTEM^ \\/ HIGH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno » * menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven mi'.lions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al 1 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 iturestnent, but proprietary division of profits which ho would not receive from any other organisation.
