of attorneys, many of whom were

note thai you ?tute that additional
proof lias been furnished that the
Co-operative Movement in the Unit?
ed States cannot succeed heeausc ol
Ihe fact 111ut "co-opor.itlvo" si
Incited in the treasury department at
Washington, IX <".. has been forced
close its doors This should not,
however, lie discouraging ii" the facts
are known. The real story is this:
Tho store began business by selling
staple groceries nl cost. The busi?
ness grew ami was popular. Then
there was a demand thai the store
undertake the sale of clothing at
cost, to cui the exorbitant prices pre?
vailing. Accordingly, thousands of
dollars worth of men's and Women's
clothing, hosiery and shoes were
hough! and sohl at cost-plus.
RverytWng wenl well, apparently,
until drastic reductions were recent;;.
mach' In the price of clothing l?y the
former profiteering tradera. Then the
store found itseir witii n stock of sea?
sonal goods on hand which it could
ran "Unload" in competition with tlm
new prices charged by big department
stores. Not a penny had been laid
aside for a reserve fund, as is always
done it) a real lloehdale "Co-up" to
tide) them over periods of possible
loss. The COSt-pltlS plan while popu?
lar at lirst, was their Waterloo, aa it
always la.
The stockholders made n run <ni the
store for the redemption of their
stock. The society had nol accumu?
lated enough, capital. It had no sur?
plus, it was overstocked with un?
saleable goods. The failure which
followed was inevitable.
These "green" co-operators were
thoroughly American. The) Ignored
the continental experience of scventy
five years of uninterrupted success.
They failed to apply the tested Roch?
dale methods suggested to them when
they started, by The Co-operative
League of America, it was not co?
operation but their own ovey-con
tldence and stupid policies that
brought ruin to the treasury store.
The 4,"(in "Co-ups in Great Brit?
ain, with their annual business of
$1,250,000,000 do business according
to the Rochdale plan of selling at
current prices. So do the successful
co-operative stores in this country.
After all expenses are paid and a re?
serve fund is set aside, the profits are
Aivtded amongst the purchasers in
proportion to their patronage. This is
the secret of the success of co-opera?
tion he world over.
The experience of treasury store
should not be a discouragement in co
speration. It should merely serve as
t "warning" against following un?
bound methods.
