ing goods to members scattered over a somewhat wide area. 
These carts, in delivering groceries and other goods, also under- 
took the collection of eggs, while, in addition, a cart was sent out 
specially once a week to supplement the other rounds. The trade 
has rapidly increased, much better prices have been obtained by 
the members, and the society has sold its surplus supply through 
the Co-operative Wholesale Society and other agencies. 
If this example could be more extensively followed it would 
be likely to lead to a substantial development in poultry-keeping 
in this country. Poultry-keepers who deal with a local Industrial 
Co-operative Society might urge that the society should system- 
atically undertake to purchase eggs from them. The Secretary 
of the Co-operative Union, the Organisation Society of the In- 
dustrial Co-operative Movement, Holyoake House, Hanover 
Street, Manchester, will supply all necessary information when 
that method of disposal is desired.
