S-The workingmen of Trenton, N. J., have
opened a cooperative store in that city. The
Gazette says: "Besdes the articles usually
termed groceries, the cooperative store sells
butchers meat, sausages, poultry, &c, cedar
ware, hollow ware, crockery and glass ware
and a great number of other articles, all at very
moderate prices. The rule is to purchase good
and pure articles, and sell them at a moderate
profit. They have but one price for each artl-
Gle, and that is paid by stockholders as well as
others. In other words, person who is not a
stockholder can buy Just as cheaply as a per.
son who is. The business is conducted pre-
cisely as i'm any other well regulated store, al
though the cooperative store intends to charge
smaller profits than those generally exacted by
dealers The stockholders have no advantage
in their purchases, but they share the profits
among them on settlement"
