CO-OPERATIVE GROCERY

TO iklK EDITOR OF "THE Plt-Jn tt- • * Sir, —Kindly allow mo to sngg** _r|_2_i * tho various unions in Greater church the great need of aaial^^J_^fi^" : ing tlio unions to start a ness in the grocery line for the -* of the public. As far as lam - the public* have not derived much be__W_B * fit by the articles which have bean __a_j__ff lowe<l to enter the country duty ■*_rrfr_|_R' as most of the old prices are still J-____f» i ing, which I do not think is fair i ward tho public. I ani of opHiffifnK: that should the various their way clear to start such a and cut down the prices now pre*i»fll'sß™ ing, it would bo a great benefit b__*__f___r to tho public and the funds of tjJjUfi unions. As an instance, in South Africa tt_t?lla__l' have had it now for 10 years, has been a great success, both to tT&__f-B pubiio and the society. The p**trfi_"l___| were 2_ per cent. Tho groceries *h__|___i sold at a far cheaper rato than w&SMftt tho other merchants were selling. »g|§!fM What is required is a man with exn»S_3_fß once of the trade to take charim_K_«_B tho store, and I think then it *S_l__R prove to be a great success, both ttfOTtiSß public, who will be able to got at a roduced rate, and the funds various unions will bo helped a: yr4_« : Ja[E Ro the amalgamation of the' rari(B_s|ittl unions, I do not think it need 'iftfSlfH fere with tho private business of' tl_S___i unions.—Yours, etc., XJNIONIST,|^M|
