Excerpt from Three Phases of Coöperation in the WestBuenss agency. - In Ohio, as in most of the states, a Central Business Agency, or Supply House, was started under the patronage of the state grange. This was from the first under the management of W. H. Hill, who came to the work recommended by successful direction of the local Supply House at Lima. The capital was advanced by the state grange, and the credit of that body was used in the transaction of business, but the whole control of the affair was given to the manager. The main house was located at Cincinnati, and it was intended, besides selling to the various local grange stores already established, that branch houses should be maintained in different parts of the state that were to do the retail business. The plan followed was one much in favor with the grange during the sev enties - that of dividing profits before they were made. The aim was to operate on a margin so small as to eliminate profit and let the consumer have the benefit Of the reduced price. If any profit were by accident to accrue, it was to be turned into the treas ury of the state grange.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
