ABRAHAM ROBERTS. MANAGER
OF UNION STORES, EXPERT ON
COOPERATIVE MERCHANDISING

! to keep the business going and make
good his promises.
| But, in less than four years, he had
| not only paid Off the entire indebted
| ness, dollar for dollar, but estab-
lished the understanding Of the Lake
| Linden Cooperative society on q arm
basis.
From Lake Linden, he went to Seat
tie. where he helped organize the Pro-
duce and Consumers Cooperative
company of Seattle. Inside of four
m onfhs the concern was established
and doing a flourishing business.
At this time. the general manager
OF the old Tamarack Cooperative So
ciety died. and unanimously the d.
rectors and stockholders voted to offer
Mr.. Roberts the Office.
He accepted, and has been manag-
Ing this company until recently when
he was approached to become gem
eral manager Of Union Stores.
A very interesting feature OF the
Tamarack store Is the fact that 1t did
an S85O.000 a year business--and that
the earnings for the year 1912 were
$103,960. This, on q paid in capital
OF $4,000. and the accumulated sur
plus.
Mr.. Roberts is highly enthusiastic
over the future cf the Union Stores.
Not only will this concern do much
to better labor conditions in the en-
tire city OF Richmond, furnish a new
outlet to manufacturers of Richmond
made goods, but 1t will bring to Rich
mond many OF the thousands OF dol
lars, which are now going to the West
ern mail order houses.
AS he sees 1t, the success OF Union
Stores will be based on four distinct
{x1or at
in merchandising:
First. the enormous volume OF
goods bought and sold. insuring lower
prices from the manufacturer.
Secondly, economy Of bookkeeping.
No labor-saving device will be over
looked which can make each clerks
efforts count for more. Every econ
omy Of arrangement will be used to
enable two people to do the work OF
three. Efficiency will be the watch
word.
Thirdly, there will be an immense
saving due to the absence Of book
keeping on individual accounts. col
lections and losses through bad debts
Doing a business on q cash basis.
will give Union Stores a big advan-
tage in the buying OF. attractive mer-
chandise at unusually low prices.
Finally. the fact that the concern
will start with the guaranteed busi-
ness OF thousands OF families. 1t Will
start at a point reached by the ordi-
nary store only after years of strug-
Cling. advertising and investing. IT II
estimated that 1000 families, buying
all their needs from one big depart
ment store. will mean an annual busi-
ness Of about one million dollars.
Union Stores already has over 1000
subscribers, and should have many
times that number before all the
shares are placed.
No enterprise has attracted An
equal amount of interest in recent
years, and now. with Mr.. Roberts to
guide its growth. there can be no
doubt as to the outcome
