A stock holders neeting of the
Zenos Coop Institution was held
Monday in Coop hall. The looks and
reports of tho institution was given
over and the standing Of the instltu
tion was found to be on much better
basis than anticipated by most of the
stockholders. While no dividend was
declared-owing to the dull season
the past year, yeat a substantial profit
was made. And the stockholders were
quite well pleased with the report.
The manager was instructed to allow
no more credits, but to do a strictly
cash business. The directors for the
ensuing year were then elected. w.
