ALTONA CO-OP. SERVICE LTD.

Altona Co-op Service Ltd. was organized in 1937 with ten members, $50.00 share capital and a loan of $600. The very limited shelf space in the rented store was rather bare. Business was done largely by special orders. In two years, membership and business volume increased to such an extent that the premises were inadequate.

In 1939 the Co-op purchased the stock in one of the larger dry good stores in Altona and one year later purchased the store building. The enthusiasm of membership and man- agement was such that in 1941 a new Grocery Department was added; and in 1949 further expansion included a Hard- ware section, Home Furnishings, Locker Plant and Warehouse. This capital expansion in 1949 was financed largely by the sale of five per cent debentures which are being repaid at the rate of $8,000 a year, leaving just over $54,000 indebted- ness by the end of 1958.

A total cash investment in share capital of less than $1,000 has grown into assets of $260,000 and refunded patronage loans of over $60,000 in cash, increasing the buying power of the membership.

While enjoying these financial benefits, the co-operative has demonstrated a type of economic organization which recog- nizes the sanctity and dignity of the individual and the brotherhood of man.
