The fusion. II accomplished. will
bring together three-quarter million

To the millions invested by the la
Dor unions must be- added the Sls5 -
100000 share capital OF the cooper
ators and their $9O.00O.0O0 on loan
and reserve, backed mp by constantly
increasing profits on the turnover
Last year the cooperative trade
amounted 10 s5SO,00O,00O But
this is to be- more than a fusion OF
