Where Does a Coop Begin?

A Cooperative does not start in Timbuktu
or in China. 1t starts right at home.
A Cooperative does not start out with
buildings or inventories or big bank account.
1t starts out simply as an idea in your own head.
The idea is simply this that farmer ought
to be able to keep bigger share of the food
dollar in his own pocket, and join with others
in buying what he needs without paying excess
prices.
That idea takes root and grows. Other
farmers have the same idea. So you decide to
do something about it.
You know that alone you cannot do any
thing. But you and your neighbors can do
lot working together.

NEW YORK-Count Basic, the
Jump King OF Swing, who is

look back upon an illustrlous
musical career that already has
made him one of the immortals
