' Zhe CO-OPERATIVE STORE Seventy-five years ago a small gathering of English weaversconcéived: the idea of the Rochdale Store, and from that time until this, during all the years that have intervened, this system has survived the storms and battles of commercial life, and has grown continuously wntil today it embraces in its membership one-third of the population of t]antuhldes. : , : _ I S e A f ’ "“ Capital, which is a necessary element in any businiess entérprise, is Fécognized in the Rochdale plan to this extent. It is entitled to cash .returns to the extent of the prevailing interest rate, but to nothing-more, for it is believed that all additional profits should go to the ultimate con- ‘sumer of the goods. This sharing of profits with shareholder and. nonshareholder is the basic principal upon which the system is founded. = - Each Co-Operative Store which is a part of the chain owns a share of stock in the wholesale establishment through which it buys, and the profits of the wholesale return to the stores in the form of dividends; this being an entirely different })lan from the usual arrangement, the wholesale owns a chain of stores. In the first instance the profits are all trending in the direction of the one who is the actual user of the goods, and in the other instance profits are exactly reversed, and are all working toward the manufacturer. ‘ o 48t i 1 ‘. : The Rochdale plan includes the ownership by the Wholesale of the canneries, factories, and mills, even down to the purchasing of the raw material itself; for it will be in this way, and in this way alone, that the financial burdens of life will be lifted. Ownership of factories is no Idealistic dream, for in England it is now an accomplished fact. - Its seventy-five years of continuous existence there, has enabled it to bring about these very things. Over there, in addition to their banks, factories and mills, they own their own tea and coffee plantations, as well as - steamship lines reaching out to the different parts of the world. The magnitude of-this Co-Operative System will be understood when it is said - that this is the largest merchandising establishment in the world, and that its annual turnover is valued at Three Hundred Million Dollars. * In this country The Co-Operative Wholesale Society of America is the counterpart of its Rochdale cousin. Its splendid growth here shows that the prixi:i]:al upon which it is founded is the only correct one from the co-operative standpoint. In nearly every instance wheré there has been a departure from the Rochdale plan failure has resulted, and ir nearly every case where the plan has been followed success has been the result : Local Co-Operative Stores have come and gone. Many have been the reasons:for their failure; the most common cause being the old time method that enabled one shareholder to exercise a greater voting power than his co-worker, and in the course of time the business was no longer co-operative in purpose and intent, but instead it passed into the control of a few members, or become one more business derelict that finally drifted upon the rocks of disaster. All this is guarded against under the Rochdale plan for a member has but one vote and no one can be the owner of more than ten shares of stock. In this manner is protection afforded from the wiles of those who would carry out their pet schemes at the expense of unsuspecting shareholders. Again a single Co-Operative Store cannot enjoy centralized buying in the way a chain of stores can, where the stores themselves are the actual owners of the Wholesale establishment. Under this plan all goods are sold for cash and there are no losses for bad debts. Goods are sold at the prevailing market prices for it has been repeatedly demonstrated that it is preferable to do that, and make .- returns in the form of dividends, rather than to establish a cut rate proposition that always sails on dangerous seas. : © . 3 At times in the past, efforts at co-operative merchandising have been made by political organizations but with indifferent success. Our . system of stores has wisely refused to attach itself to any political party. It is neither Democratic, Republican, Nonpartisan or Socialist. .Its aim - and sole purpose in life is to solve the problems of merchandising from the consumers’ standpoint. Affiliation with any political organization would only lessen its field of usefulness. ' , 7 Thé Peoples Co-Operative Store of Beltrami County is one of the chain attaclied ‘to The Co-Operative Wholesale Soelety of America.
