In the tinned Enadom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy th« hSt* arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies thus laviS air middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there JSds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25 000 000 This success is owinsr to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he w3 not receive from any other organisation.
