THE PEOPLE'S CO-OPERATIVE STORES.

TO PROVIDE HOUSEHOLD SUPPLIES " AT ACTUAL NET COST.

If any of our big supply stpres offered to supply you with goods at actual net cost, wouldn't you jump at the chance? Well, this is just what is being offered to you to-day by "The People's Co-operatire Stores." It is exactly the basis of their proposition. Customers are to be the member-shareholders, and all profits after paying working expenses, rent, interest, etc., are to be distributed amongst memberg as bonus rebates on purchases. It means that you will get your goods at actual net cost of production and distribution. Every three months you will get your cheque for your' share of the profits. Doesn't the idea appeal to you, isn't it your idea as to how trading should be conducted; isn't it just the right and proper way to set about defeating profiteering 1. This, then, Js briefly what the People's Co-operative Store Campaign is organising for; it is part of the world-wide movement to beat organised exploitation and establish consumer protection and bring down price*. It is going to be a big success; it Iβ going, to create big benefits to its members right now. It costs you only f 1 to become a member-shareholder and participate in these benefits.
