cleS OF the day is that which leans
toward cooperative effort. That
this tendency is one of the pro-
ductions of the age, is self evident
from universal application of its
principles and the adoption of al
most all the departments of busi-
ness to its demand. Cooperation
is the governing idea in the supply
OF markets, and manufacturers
have long ago discovered that the
unifcation of forces not only en-
sures them larger and more con-
tinuous returns but protects them
in a body as they could not expect
Individually. The age is cooper
atlve, and the industrial, benevo-
lent benefit, and other associations
that are fast multiplying on all
sides are sufficient indication
that the great body of the people
OF this country are at last resolved
peacefully, but firmly, to stand by
one another as the best, if not the
only, protection left against the
mercenary influences that seek to
dominate business and politics to-
gether. Modern cooperation is
an advanced stage in the history
OF human progress that marks the
evolution Of serfdom and wagelife
into individualism, which, in it's
turn, promises and prophesies the
higher integration of the race.
The introduction of the co-opera-
tive system into the immediate
supply of merchandise to the con-
sumer is of but recent date, and
up to the present time has labored
under all the disadvantages of
crudeness, but in the system pre-
sented by the Arlington Co-opera-
tive Brokerage Company, 62o F
street northwest, there is alb
solute equality and security
given to all investors, and this is
not done by any financial money
spinning or trickery but by 1egiti-
mate business methods.
OUR PLAN.
Our plan is. to enrol members in
numerical order in which they are
received, to whom we agree to pay
the value of their certificates,
which the face value is sax in
merchandise or cash, less 10 per
cent, S3I.5o, on maturity of their
number, and in no case can the
certificate cost more than it's face
value, while our estimated cost Of
a certificate is S17 or less, giving
you about 100 per cent. on the
amount invested. For example,
place yourself at a given 100
reckon, lapse Of S per cent, 2
will mature, making 7 that drop
out in front of you each week,
and 7 into 100 goes IA 2-7 times,
giving as you can see s35 in mer-
chandise or $31.5o in cash for
about SIS. With the same per-
centage Of lapses it will make no
difference what number of certif-
cate you hold. Place yourself at
5000 reckon, lapse of S per cent,
which would be $50, leaving in
good standing 2,S5o, of which we
mature 1-5oth, which is 81. Ger
tlficates each week, $50; lapses,
81 matured; total, ao7; ao7 into
5000 goes ID Io2-ao7 times. Col
lecting on the fractional part of
the week gives, as you can see,
SIS in merchandise or cash $3.50,
A greater percentage of lapses and
an increase of membership will
mature your certificate much under
the estimated time. The pay
ments are 81, paid upon signing
the application, and then a certif-
cate is issued to you upon which
you pay 81 each week until your
certificate has matured, which is
estimated to be in II weeks or less,
our bonded collectors calling upon
you each week for your dues, saw
ing all trouble of having to call at
office unless you prefer to do so.
You can pay your dues at office
any time during the week before
Saturday.
HOW 1T Is DONE.
simply because the plan is so easy so Is IL
30 hard Tor some people to understand it, and
they at once say that the whole thing is a
chimera. But suppose you consider that 90
