’"hether cooperatives are cupned by ners
pr.pers, by f^mers, or by hardware, grocery
meat, poultry, department store, or other :
business groups, the essential fact is thni
the participat ing units have retained the inf
autonomous character and the full vigor of;
unrestricted corape tit ion riiile reaping the
benefits of integrated sources of supply
or channels of distribution, Dr, Butler
points out.
Farmers have found that a cooperative is a
practical ray to come together .and measure
the costs of marketing and puchasing. It
is a method Thereby farmers accumulate ad- ,
equate capital to provide the facilities
and services they need.
By associating themselves in a cooperative
ray, farmers are able to hire expert sales*
men, firstclass purchasing agents, and
other skilled technicians. The savings
vrhich come, to farmers through the use of
their cooperatives are not only helpful to
• them ns producers, but aid consumers in
the form of reduced prices and better ser
vices. . , |
Ira K. Young, teenager of the Crev/-Bc.ggs

effective purchasing "nd marketing stems

tirely American in principle. A great
many retail stores throughout the country
are members of cooperative purchasing or- 1
gainization’s, tho bbject being to lov/or |
costs and eliminate unnecessary expense.
Almost every typo of business, profession
or craft has an organization of some kind
to advance the interest of its members.
Certainly farmers are entitled to the s.arao
right.”
