& few scattered retailers started a wholesale to concentrate their pur- chsaing power.
 From 1922 to 1929 the wholesale struggled along. Its business was so small that the big oil company from which 1t bought lubricating oils decided in 1929 that the coop business was too trifling and dropped it.
 The co-ops went steadily ahead. Their little plant with it's 5000-gal- lon tank and tiny office and ware- house didn't amount to much on paper, compared to the big oil com pany produly installed in its new $250,000 plant, with 500,000-gallon storage capacity.
 But the co-ops came along. This year the wholesale moved into the plant of the big oil company, buy ing it for cash at 8 bankruptcy sale.
 Its business last year ran around the $3,000,000 mark. From gas and oil the co-op went into tires and batteries, binder twine and build ing materials.
 This group is now planning a grocery wholesale to save 70 struggling coop stores in its ter ritory. Next spring it plans to come out with a line of coop farm machinery.

 CLAIM DENIED
Finding Made Today Fa- vOrs Town of Norfolk;
 Injury Alleged

The claim of Paul Giansiricusa, eco camper, for compensation for while working for the Town ofth an alleged specific injury, incurred while working for the Town of Nor- folk is dismissed in a finding hand ed down today for Commissioner aJmes M. Lynch, compensation commissioner for the fifth congress sional district.
 On Oct. 1S, 1884, the claimant suffered a leg injury, and 8 com pensation agreement was filed awarding him $6 weekly during the time of disability. Payments were continued to Nov. 13, 1884.
 Later Giansiricusa claimed a specific injury and asked for addi- tional compensation. A hearing was held before Commissioner Lynch. In todays finding, it is pointed out that Giansiricusa worked in several places after his injury and is now a eco camper. Medical eXamina- tion also shows shat there was no permanent injury, says the com missioner in refusing to allow the claim.
 One compensation agreement was filed with Commissioner Lynch to- day:
 Shagroy Corp, Lakeville, and Thronton Brink, Lakeville, contu- sion of left arm, $l0.50 weekly, be- ginning Nov. 2, 1885.

the Ohio Farm Bureau in the gas, oil and fertilizer business.
 Together they are blanketing, 1n- diana, Ohio, northern Kentucky, and Pennsylvania with @ system of rural gas distribution. This group did a business of $9,500,00O in 1884.
 At the same time a wholesale down in Amarillo, Tex, piled ur a total of $1,500,000, while another group, the Farmers Union Central Exchange in St. Paul, did well over $2500,000.
 Together, these groups have set up National Co-ops, Inc, as a na- tional purchasing agency. Through this agency they make their gas contracts with the refineries and

More than 2OOO gas and oil co-ops now are operating in the country, combining to vie with the major companies for business in every line of supply for the motorist. Above is shown the Fairfield Farm Bureau Coop service sta- ton at Lancaster, o. At left is shown Q coop tire display in Q station at North Kansas City, Mo. presented. In every community in which these big wholesalers have a retail unit going, they lead in gas and oil distribution. It is these figures that have the big oil com- panies worried.
 In each case the coop is doing this business on fraction of the investment represented by the old line company set-upS.
 Advance of the farmer into the of business has been marked by unqualified success. And he is making enough money out of gas and oil to set him up in business in other lines.
 The idea is spreading into towns and cities throughout the west And as the co-ops grow, they lay new plans. Already they are talk ing f their own refineries and oil fields.
 They have the money to buy. It will take only a little pressure by the big companies to drive them to that step.

 Statisticians of the Johns Man vile Corporation, according to Louis H. Brown, president, have figured out that every time $500 is clipped off the selling price of a small house, another million people can afford to buy the house, the New York Times re- ports. The building industry's biggest problem, MT. Brown be- lieves, Is to supply. more and more value in small homes at less and less cost to meet the situation arising from the fact that the number of families earn ing less than $2,500 Q year is estimated at 24,8O0,000.

ANYBODY'S BUSINESS

The third Retail Trade Survey conducted by the Research and Sta tistical Division of Dun & Brad- street, reveals some interesting facts on the subject of recovery. Reports i from 5000 individual independent stores with 1885 sales less than $50,000 each, show increases ranging from fraction to % per cent over 1884 figures. Automobiles with 29.8 per cent, hardware and implements with % per cent, and restaurants with 22.8 per cent are the three leaders. The next largest gains were reported by dealers in lumber with a 2l per cent gain, drugs with 20.9 per cent gain, and furni- ture with I'll per cent gain. The average gain of all businesses amounts to 12.7 per cent.
 Twenty eight new residences in go days is the February record of the little city of Miami Beach, which for the past three years has been breaking one building record after another. The total value of construction in Febru- ary for Miami Beach was S386,- $40. The total for January and FYebruary this year was $648,OOO as compared with $573,O15 for January and February of 1885.
 Construction of 1,50O new homes will be begun in Indiana within the next 60 days, according to the In- dianapolis Star. Although bitter cold weather has prevailed in Indi- ana for the past several weeks, the Star reports the Indianapolis office of the Federal Housing Administra- ton received the largest volume of title II business last week of any similar period since the beginning of the Federal Housing Adminis- tration's operations in Indiana. During the last two months 190 ap- plications for insured mortgages were made at the Indianapolis office.
 The township of Mount Leb- anon, a residential suburb of Pittsburgh, strangely enough ranks fourth among 72 Pennsyl- vania municipalities for construc-
 ton in 1885, according to the Liberty (Pittsburgh) Ledger. Phil adelphia, Pittsburgh, and Lower Merton Township in Eastern Pennsylvania alone exceeded the volume of building construction in comparatively small Mount Lebanon. Located in the residen- tial South Hills district of Pitts burgh, Mount Lebanon adequate ly illustrates the fact that it is in Pittsburgh's path of residen- tial development. Its 1885 build ing total was $952, ,904.
 Charlotte. N. C., led all North Carolina cities in new construction during January, according to the Charlotte N.C0 News. Out of a total of $457,270 for new construc- ton in 21 cities and towns in North Carolina of 10000 population or over, Charlotte recorded $l3l, ,387 for January. Of the new construction in North Carolina started this year 35 per cent is for new residences.

that the big distributors are trying to figure out way to beat them.
 But they are a hard bunch to beat, simply because the co-opera- lives have discovered there is mon- ey in the oil business.
 Coop filling station business works out about like this: If you are an average user of gasoline, you burn 1000 gallons, for which you pay about $150. If you belong to a coop, you'd have check for $l5 coming to you for Christmas. For this is what most of the gas and oil co-ops pay.
 Few of them pay less. Some of them pay as high as 20 per cent. But this is frowned upon as un- sound. A good share of the profits should go back into the business to allow for expansion.
