In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefit arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus MviSXmiddlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there Sinrested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds SoOt* 000 This success is owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair c^niCrcial return on his investment, but proprietary division of pronto which he m!Sld notreceive from any other organisation.
