At the clusion of the n motion of § les Duber decided that CO-ORers store, to be operated by the Kingston Co- operative Society, in conjunction with + the Co-operative Union of Canada, would be opened in the city. The following board of di- rectors were elected at the mest- ing: 'T. Morris, T. Disney, W.

An historical resume was given of the growth and development of the co-operative movement frou the middle half of the eighteenth century, through the peripd of tha industrial revolution up to the time of the Rochedale experiment, cupon mehich special emphasis was laid. Bringing the statements the successes in other places to a prac: tical beariag .updbn the situation in Kingston, Mr. Keene stated that in this city there were seventy-eight grocery stepres serving £1,000 in- habitants, \ while under the co- operative system only nine stores would be needed, and tae profits would be returned to the working- men who invested in the share capi- tal of the co-operative enterprise.
