COOPERATIVE MEAT. COMPANY:

Great progress is being made in
establishing the COOPERATIVE Meat
Company in San Francisco. The
union people Of San, Francisco. have
taken up this: proposition, and no
mud slim ging from the subsidized
sheet of the Citizens Alliance and
the subsidized knockers can stop III
progress. The books of the company
are open for inspection to all share
holders and those intending to pur-
chase shares: Checks ON the syndi-
cate bank of Oakland have been
drawn in full in favor of the former
proprietors of markets in Oakland.
Everything In the markets has been
paid for and the receipts are on file
in the office of the company at Oak
land. Paul Wuthe is working for the
company as manager OF his former
market, and H. Behrman is manager
of the market formerly belonging to
Mr.. Scheithe. Business Of the COM
pany has about doubled during the
last three weeks, and the more our
enemies knock the more they will ad-
vertise our business and help our
| cause. All employees are paid In full
up to date, as can be proven by GU.
books. Meat cutters and sausage
| makers are paid SIS per week; driv-
ers cutting meat SIG per week, mini
MUM wages. Some are receiving
much more. One man on the sick list
is drawing his $18 per week just the
same. It is true, some Of our former
employees have sold out to members
of the Citizens Alliance and have left
our employ, but the company has
been benefited by the change and the
| men We have now are true-b blue union
lists and AL Workmen. We would ad-
wise everybody who is not working on
Saturday evening or Saturday after
noon to take trip across the bay and
see the amount Of business done at our
| markets, and you will be convinced
that We are doing more business than
any other market in Oakland. Take
broad-guage boats and get off at
Seventh and Broadway, where mar
ket No: l is located. and while you are
over there you might just as well buy
your meat there for next Sunday and
have chance to try our meat and be
convinced that we can furnish you
with better meat than any of the mar
kets run by the meat trust Now,
don't worry, but watch us grow. You
will soon have markets Of your own
In San Francisco, and the Citizens AL
lance, the Meat Trust and all other
/ enemies cannot stop us.
