William McGregor in whose hands are all
the papers and a goodly portion of the work
incidental to establishing the Carpenters
Cooperative store, is pushing the enterprise
rapidly towards successful consummation,
and If the same success attends the efforts of
himself and others who are taking such lively
interest in the enterprise in the future AS
has in the pas3, the store will soon be an ac-
complished fact. Over two hundred and
fifty shares of stock at $3.50 share have
already been subscribed giving about 81 500
as a starter. Five hundred shares must be
disposed Of before the store will be opened.
The preliminary work has been done with
much care, and the rules adopted make un-
fairness impossible. Only heads of famiiies
can hold stock and no one man can hold more
than two shares, making it impossible for
anyone to obtain controlling interest and
run the store for profit. The merchandise to
be carried in stock will be general in Its ma
ture. but principally provisions.
'lf by the establishment of the
store" SAID Mr.. McGregor yester-
day, tive can save ourselves a few
dollars a month in the cost Of provisions, it
is equivalent TO an increase in wages, and
why shouldn't we do it if we can. think it
will be great thing for the carpenters, and
! hope the scheme won't fall through"
