Egg and Poultry Co-operative Society. 



[May, 



hens) at all times at given weekly prices per pound, weighed at 

 Ipswich. They also purchase wild rabbits and hares during the 

 season, and are buyers of butter, honey or other dairy produce. 



One great drawback to the Society's working is the heavy 

 charges for rail carriage, which increased 50 per cent, during 

 1921. To obviate this the Committee are negotiating for cen- 

 tral premises in London where eggs can be sent in bulk by 

 goods train, or otherwise, and by which it is estimated a con- 

 siderable saving can be effected. 



The eggs, poultry, and other produce are paid for at market 

 rales and the profits realised by the Society are subsequently 

 divided as a " bonus " to members in proportion to their 

 deliveries. 



The following application of profits for 1921 is of interest :— 



Interest on Share Capital, 6 per cent. 

 Bonus to Employees (as per Rules) 

 Bonus to Members on Eggs, Poultry, etc
