The futility Of the "co-operative"

merchandising has been demonstrated
time and again in this country, 1t hav-

this character inevitably are failures.
Labor unions have been active during
the past year or so in promoting VEN
lures of this kind and none of them
have so far been successful. The lat

board is the Union Cooperative

This concern was organized about
nine months ago by the labor unions
of the town and was run by a board

the cost Of living would be materially
reduced by its operation, the members

she read:
Oh Carrie. just the funniest thing

Well, she has been here all the sea-

Laura. Well. you remember she be-
