,er cooperatives. There are also
duces cooperatives which market
tr. •:. members' products. The Mat- j
a;.- . Cooperative is a combination
of . l As a consumer cooperative,
it wi'l eventually own, operate and;

i ip Cooperative may buy these
- . 'rom the Corporation as fast
uilds up a working capital
terprises will give the cooperative
members a good source of income.
They will be managed by a person
el selected by the Board of Direc-;
f the Co-op. The Co-op mem
- ect their board of Directors, i
-e A.R.R.C. will help to support j
■ t Cooperative for three years. By

. .oe its own buying and i
6 facilities. Stock will soon be

-Tey eligible to membership, j
. ne Trading Pest is already a
. jd, paying business. Within the j
rext couple of months it will be j
-'■ed to the Cooperative. How
*uiends will be counted'
.. puchases made since the first of
February. This means that you may ;
become one of the shareholders of,
the Trading Post by joining the Co- j
operative. And for every dollar you j
spend at your cooperative store,
you will receive a dividend at the end j
oi six months. The more you spend
tv re, the larger your cash dividend i
will be. If you buy $400 worth of
f •! rVihing and supplies, your
- idciid will be twice as large as
another member's who buys $200:
worth. Remember to keep your
cash sales slips fom now on, so that
you can get your dividends.
"There is no reason why your j
store should not become, like Swed
en's cooperative stores, the finest in
the untry. By next summer we j
give the space now used by
he general and accounting offices
to the Trading Post. These will be
used as display rooms for the hard- i
ware and clothing depatments.
“Your cooperative can build up a
prosperous and flourishing business
for the Matanuska farmers. The
more business your cooperative store 1
does, the better business it will be-1
come. The best way to bring that
about is to “BUY COOPERATIVE.” I
