Mr.. Tastet reviewed the CO.
operative methods employed in
both national and local credit
associations. such as the Wash.

this cooperation has benefited

AS instances of constructive
legislation in which the credit
associations have had a part, he
r,ontionad the Federal Rankrnntcv
Act, and the various State finan-
cial statement laws and bulk sales
laws.
