Co-operative Soiiety of the National Supply Co., 

 Lansing-, Mich. 



How Co-operation Helps. Co-operation is as old as 

 history itself. It started on the farm years ago. As 

 far back as memory goes, farmers have practiced prac- 

 tical co-operation. In the swapping of labor during 

 harvest and haying time, in exchanging their products, 

 and in many other ways, they have been mutually help- 

 ful to one another— thus exemplifying the advantage of 

 co-operation in a simple but effective manner. 



But the co-operation of to-day is broader in scope, 

 and goes further, in that it helps in a financial— dollars 

 and cents— way. Co-operation as it is carried on by 

 the members of the Co-operative Society of the National 

 Supply Co., of Lansing, Mich., has for its sole object the 

 saving of money to its members. The Society supplies 

 its member with every thing they need to conduct the 

 business of the farm and the home, at prices that would 

 not be possible in any other way. 



This co-operation does not men the banding together 

 of its members in a secret, oath-bound fraternal or po- 

 litical organization. It has nothing of that in view 

 whatever. The co-operation which it offers its mem- 

 bers is purely a busmess proposition— the putting of 

 dollars into the pockets of its members by reducing the 

 expense of conducting the business of buying and sell- 

 ing merchandise to all those who are fortunate enough 

 to join the Society. By thus clubbing these purchases 

 together, and buying in large quantities, as the Society 

 does, the lowest cash prices are always obtained. This 

 saving all goes to the members of the Society, and 

 makes a membership very profitable— so profitable, in 

 fact, that we are told hundreds of farmers all over the 

 country are taking advantage of it and are joining in 

 great numbers. 



The Society issues a large handsome 1000-page catalog 

 of all kinds of merchandise, which it will send free of 

 charge to any farmer who would like to join in its ben- 

 efits and help to push its good work along. 



The prices quoted in this complete catalog are very 

 low for the quality of goods carried, and purchasers 

 save money by buying all their supplies from the Socie- 

 ty. Members, however, are allowed ten-per-cent dis- 

 count from these already low prices on every thing they 

 buy. This is a straightforward proposition, and means 

 that the Society has been builded on a solid, sure foun- 

 dation. 



The Society invites all who wish to save money to 

 join; but it does not ask you to join blindly, or if it can 

 not show you that such a membership will save you 

 from $10 to $200 every year, as long as you remain a 

 member of the Society. You use merchandise; why 

 should you not buy where you can do the best ? The 

 way to make money is to save money. Every cent you 

 save is that much added to your wealth. The way to 

 become independent of trusts and monopolies is to co- 

 operate with a society that can give to every dollar you 

 spend the added purchasing power of the thousands of 

 dollars the members spend annually. Stand alone and 

 your dollar is but 100 cents: add to it the dollars that 

 the entii-e membership spends, and who can measure 

 the force and power of these multiplied dollars ? 



Write to the Secretary of the society, at Lansing, 

 for full information and an application blank. Ask 

 him how to join this Society, and how to save $100 to 

 $200 every year as long as you live. He will gladly send 

 you the proof, and tell you what the Society has done 

 for its members thus far. Kindly mention this paper 

 when you write.

To Make a Success 



of keeping bees in large numbers has been the leading 

 theme of the Bee-keepers' Review for this year. Each 

 issue contains one or more articles on this subject from 

 men who have made great successes in this line; and 

 these men are from widely scattered locaHties, from 

 Vermont to California, and from Cuba and Texas to 

 Minnesota. K you are at all interested in making your 



business grow until it brings you in thousands of dollars 

 a year, send ten cents for three late but different issues 

 of the Review, and the ten cents may apply on any sub- 

 scription sent in during the year.
