The convention heartily endorsed
the new cooperative law of Wisconsin
and directed it's legislative committee
to work for it's passage in this state.
A committee for establishing a
Wholesale Purchasing Agency in Sc
attic was appointed and later arrang-
ed with the Producers and Con-
sumers' Cooperative Company of
lila Western avenue, Seattle, to act
for them. 1t is hoped that many of
the stores will avail themselves of this
opportunity; so that in the near
future we may be able to establish
our own wholesale house.
!. Officers elect for the ensuing year:
7. M. Void, Stanwood, president;
N. P. Sorenson, Laurel, vice presi
dent; Alonzo Wardall, 541 New York
Block, Seattle, secretary.
Next meeting second Wednesday
in January, 1914. All societies in the
state are cordially invited to par
ticipate.
Please write the secretary and give
report of your company, and also the
addresses of other cooperative com
panies in your neighborhood and
greatly oblige,

How Do You Buy Farm Tools.

This is the time of the year when
farmers buy axes, hammers, bits and
braces. How do you buy your farm
tools?
You take chances when you simply
ask your dealer for hammer, bit,
an axe or a tool of any XII d. If the
al ticle turns out unsatisfactory you
might get your money back-you
might-if the dealer thinks he can
also get his money back. That's
taking a chance.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-02-01

Now, you can buy the finest tools
in the world byNsimply asking for
Keeen Kutter tools. Your dealer buys
these tools on the express guarantee
and understanding that if he sells
you anything bearing the famous
Keen Kutter trade mark that is not
absolutely perfect, he will cheerfully
refund your money, and we, in turn,
will protect him.
This couldn't be done if the Sim
mons Hardware Co., of st. Louis,
Mo-, makers of Keen Kutter tools,
was not thoroughly confident about
the quality of it's wares Our readers
can be assured that when they buy
Keen Kutter tools they have bought
the best.

The Terminal Company has recently
increased its capital from 800, 600 to
$3.50, 600 and reports over three million
bushels handled so far this season.
They are building a hundred and
twenty five barrel mill at Bridgeport.
The Producers and Consumers Com
pany, of Seattle, report l, 500 members
and a growing business-double that
of last year. They will also act as
wholesale purchasing agent for the
cooperative stores this year. They
have large warehouse at lila West
ern avenue.
The Northwest General Trading
Company, of Spokane, report 5000
members and cash trade of $40, 900
a month.
Of the sixty or more cooperative
stores in the state less than half were
heard from. Those reporting in
variably claim prosperous year and
growing business. Enumclaw leads
with 5000, 600 with Stanwood, Silvana,
Fir, Marysville, Blaine, Lynden,

number of very prosperous creameries
in the state, doing a growing and
profitable business. One at Stan
wood is twenty years old did bust
ness of S125, 900 last year. paying two
to three cents a pound more for cream
than their private competitors, and
making dividend of two cents a
pound at the end Of the year, besides
putting a substantial sum into their
reserve. They started twenty years
ago with cash capital of thirty. seven
dollars. Arlington made a dividend
of three cents a pound. Laurel
Creamery did $50, 900 for the year.
While Lynden, the largest and one Of
the oldest and most successful,
handled as high as 81, 900 day, and
averaged three cents a pound over the
price paid by private concerns.
Alonzo Wardall, manager for the
Right Relationship League work on
the Pacific Coast, reported that the
League had organized three strong
stores in Washington in the past year
namely at Lynden, Nooksack and
Blaine, and that many inquiries we're
coming in from all parts of the state
and from Oregon and Idaho asking
for information, bylaws and as
sistance. He has many calls to lecture
on cooperation and to organize.
The League has organized over a
hundred and fifty stores to date,
mainly in Minnesota and Wisconsin,
but is extending its work in other
states as fast as competent organizers
can be secured.

Fifth Annual Convention of Wash
ington State COOPERATIVE Union,
held at Labor Temple, Seattle, WASH,
January 10Th, 1913.
The convention is made up of repre-
sentatives of any and all Cooperative
Associations in the state, and its
purpose is to bring the various as
sociations into closer business, social
and educational relations. There are
some three hundred separate CO.
operative organizations in The state
and it is hoped in time to get them
acquainted with each other, and CO.
operating together. When they do
they will become power for good.
The convention was presided over by
T. M. Void, of the Peoples Union of
Stanwood.
Verbal and written reports we're
made by large number of societies
all reporting increased business for
the year.
q Between thirty and forty new CON-
panies, stores, creameries. canneries,
fruit associations, grain companies,
ETC., have been organized during the
year, while two or three weakly ones
have closed up.
Among the important large move
ments is the Fruit Distributing Com
pany, recently organized at Spokane
to handle the fruit--particular the
apples of the Pacific Northwest, on
the plan so successfully carried out
by the Southern California Fruit
Growers Association. Most of the
leading fruit companies of the North
west are attiliating with it. They ex-
pect to be ready to handle the 1913
crop.
The Yakima Valley Fruit Growers
Association made up of twenty one
local companies report sales of over
$500 cars for 1912, and 500 more yet
to go out. The Wenatchee Fruit
Growers have also done large bust
ness-1, 700 cars. The Puyallup &
Sumner Association reports a very
successful season-530 carloads of
fresh, canned and barreled berries,
rhubarb, etc., shipped. The new
method of handling fresh fruit in
barrels is interesting. New barrels
lined with paratfine are filed with
fresh berries and sugar equal weight
in alternate layers, and placed in
cold storage. Seventeen cars were
put up that way last year. They are
used in the large hotels and restaur-
ants for ices, fruit, juices, etc., and
command good prices
The Tri-State Terminal Grain
Company report large and growing
business. They sell for a hundred
local warehouses and elevator com
panies. Many of these do large
business, and nearly all handle side
