The cooperative store idea is not new to the United States. But the success of these co-op stores during the depression years is new.
 Along with the amazing growth of the coop gas and oil business, the building up of the fertilizer and feed stores has gone a new era m co-op grocery stores.
 Maynard, Mass, presents an ex- ample of the idea behind the aver age coop store. The average wage in this factory town is $750 a year. The co-operators here have a gem eral store, more modern and up to date than any chain represented in the town.
 They have their own coal yard, feed warehouse. bakery, milk pas" teurizing plant, hardware store, and gas station. The co-op mem- Der here gets what he believes is the utmost value for his money. On top of that he gets patronage dividend of 3 l-2 per cent on every thing he spends.
 His goal is e set-up where he can spend the whole of his wages comparatively, which would be 3 ls2 per cent on his $75O.
 Films Make Q G0 Of It
 There were many experiments in co-op stores in the early years of the twentieth century. But most of these stores were started without knowledge of the cooperative tench- nique, were not real co-ops, and when diversity came they died off.
 But in northern Michigan, Wis., consin, and Minnesota there was an influx of Finnish and German settlers. The Films brought along with them the true Rochdale co" operative idea. They set mp their own stores. and despite hard times and opposition they made them go'
 But the going was not spectaeu" lar. In 1917 many of the stores were on the brink of failure, so 70 delegates met and decided that something had to be done. Whole" salers, under pressure Of their re" tailers, were cracking down on the co-ops. Therefore, the latter couldn't buy the things they needed, The I9 men decided that they must set up a wholesale house of their own,
 A collection vas taken, netting the grand total Of sl6.60. On this magnificent sum the Central Cos operative Wholesale was set up, The "offiee" was only desk space in . corner of the offices or a friendly newspapeEman.
 The man in charge could do little but pool the orders Of the stores and sub. Job them from private whole' salers

1 in Massachusetts, in Ohio. in Kan- sas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Kansas itself has 70 stores. These units are having a stiff struggle. try- ing to buy from unfriendiy whole salerS.
 So the big oil wholesale in North Kansas City, its war chest swollen with oil profits. is laying plans to form a grocery wholesale, i to serve these stores and run their number cup into the hundreds. even as the Central Coop Wholesale ran the original i9 sotres up to the present string of lsS
 Beating Chain Stores
 Talk to these co-operators about chain store competition and they come to the front with some inter esting figures. The Central chin of co-ops is operating on a lower mar gin than most of the big chains.
 Even such individual stores as those in Massachusetts, and small chains such as those in southern Wisconsin and Ohio are beating the chain stores at their own game - economical and efficient operation.
 The co-operators in Cloquet proudly boast that they have driven most of the chain stores out of town. Those that are left try to meet the co-op prices.
 In Waukegan, H.. were three CO., op stores which had operated suc- cessfully for 35 years, Within the last three years. with the sudden burst of interest in cooperation. this group opened three new stores.
 The manager of this group de- clared that only on certain brands Of canned stuff and on sl0w-mov- ing merchandise could the chains bother him. In perishables, meats, fruits. and vegetables. he was beat ing the chains to the market.
 Plan t0 Open Groceries
 Another big oil group is planning a grocery wholesale in Minneapolis, for their oil and gas success has led members to open co-op groceries. And coming of the wholesale will mean rapid multiplication of mem' Der stores.
 So tt goes. The whole moye- ment Is maSed sp certain funda- mental rules. The big oil eo-ops have wiped out some Of the preb- lems that beset the early co-op stores.
 They have learned organization. They have all built up big funds for expansion. And ell are headed by men who are sold on the COG operative Idea, and have the back ing of a growing army Of eo' operators. Sell Alilk on Big Scale
 In Minneapolis one big consumer eo-0p distributes about . third Of the elty's milk supply, In Wanke- gan, Ill. the eo-op Is the biggest milk distributor in its territory,
 The eo-0p gas pump IS becoming ing 8 familiar sight on streets of western towns and small cities, Minneapolis has six gas stations. Madison, Wis., has three, . coal yard, and Q milk distribution plant,
