One hundred and sixty-three cooper

operation last year in the United
States. This is considered to be a
rapid growth when 1t is remembered
that the first association in the coun-

in 1905, and that as late as 1908 only
six associations had been formed. The
next year. however, the number rose
to 25, and 1t has been increasing
rapidly ever since. America Is, never
