Store : Manners Street, Wellington. fTHHE Committee of the above Society resJL pectfully inform members, and the public generally, that the store has now been in existence over twelve months, and has satisfactorily proved to those who have taken active part in its working the immense advantages of the Co-operative principle, which it is believed only requires to be better known to be more fully appreciated. The object of the Society is to improve the social condition of its members by retaining amongst themselvos the ordinary profit of shopkeepers, and dividing it in proportion to the amount of goods each has parchased from the store, without reference to tho number of shares held. As all profit beyond actual working expenses is proportionately divided, the holding of simply one share entitles a member to every benefit. Tho principle ot Co-operation is making rapid progress both in England and Amerioa, and the Committee trust that the people of Wellington wi 11 fee that it iB to their interest i to join in this mutually aiding system of trading, and co rid themselves of haying to pay other people's debts, as is the case under the competitive system. Shares £1 each, payable at Is per week. Every inforomtion obtainable at the Store, Manners street. The Price List will compare favorably with any shop in town. Good articles and full weight guaranteed. JN.B. — The Committee specially caution the public againßt pretended Co-operative Stores, which are only a trap to catch the unwary, by taking advantage of a name to which they have no just claim, being simply ordinary shops under a borrowed title.
