DIFFICULTIES AT THE OUTSET
In founding cooperative associations, the great
difficulty W be overcome al the outset, is the acquls-
uon of the necessary instruments OF labor, ana thc
still larger outlay sometimes indispensable Tor no
purchase OF raw or manufactured material which,
in some trades, that OF the upholsterer for instance,
necessitates an amount OF capital possessed by lev
working men. This capital must, therefore, be
raised either out OF the savings OF The aSsOciae' or
H.f N.F lfs.f 80. from. L
which last ! think a questionable moce, and, gen
orally speaking, The test managed and most pros
porous associations are those which, receiving 40
asslsiance whatever. have CONNIE need w,th AZ tx
uemely limited capital. and thus passed tnrouyh
