1t goes without saying that
wages, at times have been twice
as high as those of an ordinary

erous benefits bestowed by the
company.
One visitor at the plant remark
ed once: This is truly a workers

Pen-Ply proves that cooperative
enterprise and its form of indus
trial democracy pays off. The in
dividual initiative of the working
shareholders, who feel they own
the plant, is the spur. A high pro-
duction rate which assures both
good wages and benefits, is the
end result.
All this, the whole cooperative
set-up, reveals strong .Scandin-

all too evident that they have

their homelands.

they issued 2S2 shares of common
