4 GREAT RUSH EXPECTED TOMORROW
FOR THE PREFERRED SHARES OF
THE SLEGEL- COOPER COMPANY

Judging from present indica-
tions, there will be an unprec-
edented rush for the 8 per
cent. guaranteed shares of the
Siegel-Cooper Co. Cooperative
Stores, subscriptions for which
will open tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. Already letters
have been received by the thou
sand from all over the country,
and every incoming mail swells

matter.

but by practical and eminently

al reputation.
The central idea governing is
to not only interest in the work

The scare statement that there are any num-
ber of districts where Il change of 800 600
votes would sweep the Republican member from
his seat carries no significance. The change OF
many votes would have changed the sitting

election for more than two decades. A Congress
plurality of 900 to 200 is fair average one

Stores seem indeed very brilliant.
In Europe the cooperative plan of store
keeping is more familiar than here. 1t has been
in vogue there for centuries, and its worth is
known. Glasgow, practically the home of the
cooperative stOrekeeping idea, is full of such
concerns with brilliant record of merchandis-
ing behind them. In London the great Army
and Navy stores, strictly a cooperative insti
tuition, which was started with 5000 shares,
is now doing the largest retail business in Eng
land, and its prosperity has reached such
height that the original $1,000 shares now sell
for over 100000 in the open market. The Bon
