CO-OP NOTES
If the folks don't stop r.nd
visit with you in tho Co-op
offico v;bon yoy como in for tho
noxt month doh t think we have
gone high hat." V.’e era only try
ing to close the book3 for the
yet r, get out'reports for the an
nuel mooting, make up reports
and balance shoots that are
necessary relative to tho trans
fer of facilities along with
the regular business that is an
every day occuranco.
Several members expressed sur
prise when they sr.w mo working
around the store r.nd other units
lately. 1 have always held that
the best v;cy to find out what
is going on is to help do it.
It is or sy enough to walk thru
a business and make suggestions
but if you want to find out the
methods used, merchandise sold
and the scores' of other problems
that arc there,the beat way is
to get right into the middle
of things -where they are the
thickest.
I expect to spend considerable
time after the transfer ' Is com
pleted in the various units and
if I have to put on a pair of
over-alls and help do the work
it won’t bo the first time.

Dear I'r. Stock:
The canned goods which you
were kind enough to order for
r.e have arrived and just v/hat
few we have sampled are most
excellent. I -want to congratu
late you on the splendid pack
you are putting up. This is -
particularly true of your nev;
potatoes and your wild cran
berries. I did not have any
idea that an Alaska potato would
open up as well as those do.
You certainly have no apology
to offer the world for such a'
package as that. I am attaching
hereto my. check in payment for
the shipment and wish to express
my thanks for all your trouble.
Kind personal regards,
Yours faithfully,
Signed: Archie Y/.Shiels
