We need each other, and by giving much we will receive much. “‘We are reaching enlightened self-interest.’’ @ Co-operation is the act of working jointly together. @ Co-operation is the act of two or more persons uniting their skill or resources to produce something, to buy something, or to share the profits on something. @ Co-operation is based on a well established fact, that two or more articles of a kind can be produced more cheaply than one; that two or more articles of a kind can be bought, and afterwards sold, more cheaply than one. It’s a simple principle. A child can see it and understand it. A stick of candy costs acent. Six sticks can be bought for a nickel. @ Take the matter of this piano transaction as another illustration: @ The manufacturers who are interested in this plan saw that if they could sell more pianos they could build them at a reduced expense. To sell more pianos, they must get the co-operation of piano dealers like this house and other large distributors throughout different sections of the country. @ To sell more pianos, these dealers were shown that they would have to be content with a smaller profit on each piano sold. But by selling many more pianos they could make a larger aggregate profit. @ To sell many pianos instead of a few, it was unani- mously decided that the dealer’s proposition to his customer would have to be attractive. That it would have to be fair, square, open and above board —and, above all—more liberal in all its conditions than pianos are regularly sold upon. q It was also pointed out that the co-operator’s proposition to the public would have to be uniform, on each and every piano distributed on this plan. That each and every person who participated in this co-operative plan should share and share exactly alike. @ In contrast to this plan, the usual method of selling pianos has been: if there were twenty pianos sold of a given grade, they were sold under twenty different conditions of sale, and, in many cases, at actually twenty different prices. @ So, with these things in mind, certain piano manufacturers andcertain merchants (including ourselves) came together. @ The manufacturers said: We can make better pianos, and make them for less money, if we can get a bigger market.” @ The dealers (we were one of them) said: “If we can buy cheaper sothat we can offer more attractive inducements, we can make a bigger market’’—which resulted in this Co-operative Association. ‘ @ After the Association was formed, this plan was worked out. @ We started with the idea of selling more pianos through an incentive. But what would the incentive be? What would induce you to purchase a piano? Logically it could be but three things: @ (1) A lower price; (2) easier terms; (3) more liberal conditions of sale, all the way through. @ We reasoned like this: Suppose something could be made and sold at a profit, for a dollar each. Now suppose, by making twice as many of these somethings, and by employing quicker and more economical selling methods, these same somethings could be made and sold at a profit, for seventy-five cents each, what would be the result. € The result would be that two sales would be made, aggregating one dollar and fifty cents, where there had been but one sale made before, amounting to only one dollar,and two persons would thus save twenty-five centseach by the trans- action. Do you catch the idea? Now, what has happened? @ We have worked out this plan. To put it into effect, the three incentives above mentioned have become the very ‘‘warp and woof” of thiswhole proposition. The price has been lowered; the terms have been made so easy that, as some say, “they are almost ridiculously low,” and it is left to your own good judgment if the conditions of sale are not the fairest, squarest, and most liberal upon which you have ever known anything to be sold.

A merchant may sacri- fice some of his profit and thereby reduce prices a little. He may here and there make an advantage- ous purchase, and thus lessen prices temporarily. But to make a big, stable cut in prevailing prices it can only be done in one way, and that is by selling greater numbers. Selling greater numbers means making greater numbers, which in turn means buying materials cheaper, making for less cost, and the elimi- nation of expensive selling methods. Selling greater numbers means con- centration and co-operation—cen- tering every energy on the work in hand, and giving much to others and Foi on aii; Souk receiving much from others through | The balance on the player-piano working together.
