 that washing machine many times to and fro in 

 the course of its manufacture; engineers, tales- 

 men, jobbers, retailers, and a whole host of other 

 people have been occupied with getting it from 

 the places where the materials were found to the 

 places where they could be put into shape for use 

 in the washing machine. They have put their 

 services into the sale and delivery of the machine 

 itself,

 single one of these operations had been stopped 

 if cooperation had been lacking. It is pretty hard 

 to cooperate properly unless there is a great de- 

 gree of confidence between the people who must

 cooperate properly in the job of making things 

 and getting them to the place where they arc to 

 be used; for no man can live apart from the end- 

 less circle of industrial cooperation.
