tered in every direction. New stores
were opened too rapidly. and those
already in operation were carrying far
too heavy stocks.
In less than two years this move
ment was IN difficulties. Ii finally
failed with the closing Of the ten
storesremaining. The old Rochdale
decreased in number also. Less than
stores remaining. The old Rochdale
thirty Of the original 100 survived.
All this time the Rochdale Wholesale
in San Francisco was suffering SO
acutely from loss Of business and cap
ital that drastic measures became nee
essary to save this institution with its
valuable jobbing rights.
The reverses lead to the founding
of the Pacific Cooperative League.
Il was Incorporated under the Califor-
MA cooperative law in 1913. a few
co-operators. convinced BY experience
that lax business methods alone were
for the failures, saw the
necessity Of holding intact what or
ganization was left until more pro-
pitious time for an expansion arrived,
and Of providing business for the
wholesale during the lean years.
Until 1917, the Pacific Co-opera-
tive League did not attempt to organ
ze cooperative stores. The whole
iale-then and now called the Coop
erative Wholesale Company--sold
goods to some extent to some of the
I'D surviving RochdaIes. Meanwhile
he League took in some 1900 mem
oers, mostly residents in the Bay re-
zion, who purchased their necessaries
lirect. making considerable savings.
During this time a great deal of coal
vas handled at greatly reduced rates.
In 1917, however. the League OPP
.ned its first branch store in the lit
le oil town Of Rodeo, just across the
Bay from San Francisco. This store
started with 3 members and $ll00
capital, and has been operating sue
ever since. "A year later an
other branch was opened in Fresno.

g. the Pacific Coast IS founded on ths
mns q previous Rochdale attempt
n the State Of California begun near
X twenty years ago. The FIRST Roch-
dale store ii California was started at
DOS Paios in 1899 in the San Joaquin
Nalley Dozens Of others followed,
the movement spread into almost ev-
eIy part Of California, and even inlo
Oregon and the Northwest Although
entirely isolated, many Of these stores
a. first were successful. A wholesale
Nas established, central committee
on education formed, and a monthly
cooperative newspaper launched. Un-
DEF the guidance Of the RochdaIe
Wholesale Company. the stores SEEM
ed to flourish for time. Capital was
fairly plentiful and business was brisk.
+ was not long before nearly 100
such stores were operating.
There was. however a dearth of
sound business methods and co-opera-
tive education. The stores became
disIoyal to their wholesale. Many Of
them from the first were victimized
By the Establishments Of the drummers
representing private wholesalers, rem
dering their buying ruinousIy ineffec-
i've. The chief trouble lay in mad
equate education. Store after store
failed. The Rochdale Wholesale be-
gan to weaken as the result of the
heavy debts caused by the defaultng
stores.
Meanwhile the leaders. undismayed
by temporary reverses. refused to ac-
eept the verdict that permanent Coz
operation IS an impossibiIity, and be-
gan 10 pu into effect a plan whereby
federation Of the stores could unite
business and education under one CEN

known as the California Rochdale
Company. The plan was favored gem
orally and might have succeeded had
# been consistently followed. Unfor-
sunately the stores were not on cash
basis. practically no educational work
was being done, and buying was scat.

The privacy of boudoir, in the roar of Times
Square! The refinement of a salon amid a
workaday world of business and shops!
Beautiful, but practical spacious, but intin-
ate-a part of the world, but apart from it
secluded, but easy to reach.
Fifteen cozy booths for hairdressing, hair
bobbing, and waving fifteen manicure tables
and suite of private dressing rooms, where
a woman may have maid in attendance or
complete her toilette alone.
Even the Children are not forgotten!
Barber shops are for Men, but Terminal Shops
are for the Family-for Fathers and Mothers,
and Sons and Daughters, all the way down
to Little Children, for whom we have special
BARRIERS who are patient and loving and sym
pathetic and kind and expert in keeping the
hair out OF tie eyes,
Last and most important Of all, bear in mind
that this newest Terminal Shop is one of a
great group of shops which have been func-
tioning smoothly for years, and that every
member of the staff, barber, manicure, or
attendent, has been in the Terminal service
for from one to nine years. 1t is not an or
ganization of students but of scholars, trained
in the Terminal way familiar with Terminal
standards, devoted to those ideals which have
made Terminal service nationally famous and
internationally known.
To the world at large, wherever the name of
the Knickerbocker conjures up visions of the
past, we fling wide and welcome the doors of
the new Terminal Shop, and if the spirits of
old Knickerbocker hospitality are gone, at
least the spirit Of that hospitality remains.

ORLEANS COUNTY COURT
Jury not Satisfied that Desmarais
Misrepresented Property
Conveyed.

Friday evening the jury returned
verdict for the defendant in the
action brought by Hypolite and Alma
Pariseau of Glover against A. j. Des-
marais for alleged Misrepresentation
in the sale of'a farm.
At the opening of the case Monday
afternoon Judge w. M. Wright !;
counsel for Pariseau, made a brief
outline of the case and said they
would try to show that on July 13,
1920, the plaintiff purchased farm
of A. j. Desmarais through the G.. j.
Oben real estate agency; that he came
here from Canada and was shown the
Desmarais farm, better known as the
Judson Stevens place. The price paid
for farm and personal property was
$4,000. The plaintiff has brought
suit to recover damages on false rep
resentation on the part of the de-
fendant, not only as to the farm, but
personal property as well. They
would tend to show that the defendant
claimed that Is cows would freshen
before Nov. %, 1920, but in and
only three of them freshened; that
the remaining Is freshened after that
date, some as late as March.
Sufficient evidence to prove their
claim In the eyes Of the jury failed
to appear and Desmarais was not
holding for any part of the $4,000
damage in the suit brought against
him. The jury took the case at
4 40 P. M. w. M. Wright was assisted
by j. Rolf Searles, and Albert Far
man and w. w. Reirden acted as
counsel for the defendant. The jury
were all excused until this (Tuesday)l
moring at o'clock. Judge Chase and
Assistant Judges Miller and Tenney

On Monday Deputy Sheriffs. Solon
Gray and Chas. 4add of Derby, un-
der orders from States Attorney AL
bert Farman, went On a still hunt
through the quiet little town of West
field and they were so still about it
that they were able to land still
and a quantity of mash. The officers
have had suspicion for some time
that. moonshine whiskey was being
manufactured IN the vicinity of West
field, and they decided to visit the
home of JoSeph Maguin of that town
which was done Monday, resulting in
the discovery of the still and about 25
gallons of mash. No distilled products
were found Joseph Maguin and son
Albert were caught at home, but dur
ing the search Joseph made a hasty
exit from the house and made his es-
cape. The son Albert was brought to
Newport and is being held under $500
bail.
This same Joseph Maguin who es-
capped the officers on Monday was be-
fore Judge Wright July 21st and was
found guilty of furnishing intoxicat-
ing. liquor BY Jury. Attorney HUI
bert Pierce made strong plea for
ciemency on the ground that Maguin
had large family, and that his wife
was in a serious condition from being
gored by bull, all which had its
weight with the court and Maguin
received sentence of not less than
nine months or over one year in the
use Of correction, the prison SEN
tence being suspended and he to pay
the costs of prosecution. Maguin was
o,aced in the hands of the probation
cfficer at that time.
