Twenty Dollar Drop in the Lumber.
A representative from the Coopera-
tive Lumber Exchange of South ST.
Paul recently visited the neighboring
corner of Wisconsin to take few or
ders for lumber. When the local lum-
Der dealers learned of his arrival.
they kept the telephone wires hot and
used up lot of good gasoline noti-
flying farmers that prices on lumber
had suddenly dropped $40 per thou
sand feet But the prices OF the Co
operative Lumber Exchange were ev-
en- below these figures, so the lumber
men made flat offer to sell shingles
aud barn boards lower than the best
price the Cooperative Lumber Elk
change could quote. One lumber man
called up his customers three times
in the same day TO tell them that be
had received kilograms advising him
of sudden drops in the price of shin
giles. Funny how the bottom fell out
of the lumber market in a few hours.
AS the Wall Street Journal warns us,
Cooperation is a signal failure, for
the profiteers.
Cooperative lumber yards have prov
ed splendid successes in many north
western cities. Like other cooperative
enterprises, there is nothing magical
about them. Able management, honest
goods, and sales at reasonable prices
with dividend rebates to members, are
the sound cooperative principles that
apply equally to the success of cooper
alive stores or lumber yards. Coopera-
tion puts an end to extortionate pro.
fits, and enables the people to pay the
legitimate profits in the lumber bust.
