ANNUAL MEETING FARMERS CO.
OPERATIVE COMPANY OF
Ets#ff VIKING

svgSNlSNS
Ihe Farmers Cooperative Company
OF Viking held It's annual stockhold-
ers meeting in the Temperance hall
on IAN. l6. The meeting was not
largely attended, but high spirit Of
.co.opfration prevailed among those
who attended.
From the reports OF the secretary
and ihanager, it was seen that the
company has done a large business
during the year, increasing enormous
" their sales from previous years,
and dould by having larger cash
capital have done still better. AS an
evidehce of good faith in their Off.
GERS, the old board of trustees was re-
selectM except one, Mr.. John Halvor-
son, who for several reasons wanted
TO retire. G. A. Lindell was elected
president and Peter Erickson, vice
president. T.. +. . 81 >.5,. r.
5 In connection with this, permit me
to saI a feWWords in regard to CO.
operation. 1t has been proven time
and again, that by working co-opera-
tivelya farmers can accomplish bigger
and better results than could be done
by working individually. Let me give
you an example: Five years ago the
farmers Of Viking organized coop
ative creamery association When
this association had nicely started, it
also had a nice debt on hand. But
what has been done during these five
years !? I will tell you. At it's last
annual meeting almost a year ago, it
had paid up every cent Of debt, being
.thessoie owner Of the plant, and had
several hundred dollars cash in the
treasury Besides this, it has all the
time paid as much for butter fat, and
sometimes more, than any other
creamery in this part of the country,
except one or two.
= So there you see, Mr.. Farmer, what
co-operation can do. No! it is no
danger to invest your money in a CO.
operative company, providing you get
an honest set of officers and man
sager that understands his business.
Your correspondent would like to
ssayssome more about cooperation but
sWespresume this will be all the space
We ean possibly get this time.
