The Farmers Cooperative Store at
Winner closed It's doors last week and
made an assignment in favor OF it's
creditors. The liabilities Of the con-
Germ are about double ito present as
sets. A iew years ago il was quite
the fad in these parts TO organize
Farmers Cooperative Stores, especial
ly if there was some merchant who
particularly desired TO dispose OF his
stock. There was hardly town but
what had its Farmers Cooperative
Store, but today these concerns are
practically nil. The one at Wood,
at Carter, at Witten and now at Win
Ger have ell quis-it was losing
game. No doubt there are many 9th
ers in the state that have done like
| wise.
