The present economic disturbance

our failure, at the outset of the great

this failure is also responsible for the
fact that our National Army. nine

amendment to the law above outlined,

When a few clerks In the old post
Office, st. Northumberland, Joined
forces to buy a chest of tea for dis
tributlon among themselves, they did
not dream that thereby they were
founding one of the largest businesses
in the country, observes a writer In
London Tit-Bits. But, as fact they
virtually established the Civil Service
Supply association, trading concern
which now has paid-up capital of
f353, ,o20.
Clear is the connection between the
act of cooperation In it's simplest form
and the present vast business. The
original "deaT was so successful that
other clerks Joined the co-operators,
with the results that very soon two or
three chests of tea were bought at a
time. Then, us the local grocers, find
ing that the clerks wives did not want
tea, refused to supply them with
sugar, this commodity also was
bought In quantities. and both tea and
sugar were kept In cupboard, which
became the first OF the Civil Service
