STORE Is LIKELY TO CLOSE

NEW YORK, Aug. Stirred of acting
as clerk Of the cooperative grocery
store conducted for the last year by
residents of West Chester, the Rev. Dr..
Richard H Mattice, pastor of the West
Chester Presbyterian Church, has noti-
fed the board of managers that he viii

among the managers for some time, and
OF adverse criticism made by members
OF DR.. Mattice's church. who were re-
puted to be opposed TO the presence OF

Quoted belonged TO the church.
Because it was located near the par
Eonage. the Rev. DR.. Mattice was made
resident manager. IN that capacity he
waited upon customers and fulfilled the
duties usually performed by the clerk
OF village store. No salary was paid
TO him or TO anyone else connected with
the enterprise.
Besides acting as manager and clerk,
the minister was purchasing agent ard
cashier, and under his direction the IN
dertaking prospered. There were so
many applications for membership In the
company that scores were turned away.
Only members could make purchases IN
the store. and stock was sold at nearly
cost price. As the store grew members
found that they could purchase furni-
ture. clothing. pianos. and almost every
thing else through il, and receive all Of
the discounts accorded TO dealers.
Announced Resignation.
Surprise was caused few days ago
when the Rev. Or. Mattice announced
bis intention TO resign from the man
