Co-Operation is a Success 



Home and Flowers desires its readers to very care- 

 fully read and just as carefully consider ihe proposition 

 that is contained in the advertisements of the Cash 

 Buyers' Union First National Co-operative Society, 158 

 to i6S West Van Buren street, Chicago, which have been 

 appearing- in this paper. If you have not read all of 

 The advert'sements, look up your back numbers and get 

 every one ot them so that you may be thoroughly con- 

 versant with the plan which, is embodied in these 

 advertisements. 



The principle underlying the reorganization of the 

 Cash Buyers" Union is one of the grandest that has ever 

 been conceived, and the editor knows from personal 

 research and observation that it has been tremendously 

 successful wherevea- it has been put into practical op- 

 eration, and that the people derive undreamed of bene- 

 fits by associating themselves together as the Cash 

 Buyers' Union First National Co-operative Society con- 

 lemplates their stockholders doing. 



In England and other countries where co-operative 

 associations have been formed the people have been 

 living in comfort, and through their co-operation with 

 each other have acquired means which will keep them 

 in comfort all their lives. 



The basis of the organization is this co-operative prin- 

 ciple put into operation under a new plan, in that, 

 instead of having loc;ii stores it sells its shareholders at 

 nearlv cost all over the world by mail, enabling them to 

 enjoy the privileges rif a gigantic metropolittm depart- 

 ment store without the inconvenience of taking a trip 

 to select their goods. Besides this, they are buying from 

 their own store, which pays them an annual dividend 

 i\nd permits them to participate in all of the large 

 profits of the business, and in addition to this it gives its 

 >hareholders a commission on all the business they in- 

 tir.eiice to their own store, and this enables them to reap 

 an additional profit which, if they would devote a little 

 time to it, would in itself be enough to keep them in 

 comfort. , 



The plan has proved wonderfully successful, and based 

 as it is upon an old and reliable business organization 

 with the most capable mauagement— men of wonderful 

 executive ability and who are buyers v£ years of ex- 

 iierience— and Irom ourpersonalacquaintance with them 

 we believe that they will build up the most gigantic 

 organization that has ever been conceived. 



\Ve have letters from people all over the country- 

 farmers, ministers and men and women from every walk 

 in life, who have expressed thekr desire to associate 

 themselves by becoming shareholders, and the most 

 striking thing" about the majority of them is the fact that 

 they are all men and women who have stud'ied co- 

 operation for years and who believe in its principle and 

 are willing to back up that belief with their own money. 



\Yhile we do not suggest that you invest in this com- 

 pany, we are so impressed with its future that we want 

 you'all to write for the book which has been written by 

 the President of the company , and which will be sent 

 you free of charge, with other data concerning the or- 

 gnnization, so that you may fully inform yourself. The 

 book itselfis well worth your reading whether you are 

 iaiterested in associating yourself as a shareholder or 

 not, and contains many practical bits of information 

 about merchandise and about co-operation and business 

 history that will make it well worth your while to read 

 it through. If you will mention Home and FLOWEiisin 

 writing the President, Mr. Julius Kahn, we feel sure 

 that he will give you his personal attention and see that 

 you are given full and detailed information covering 

 everv point about which you may wish to know.

'*I want to thank you for what you 

 have done for me, and recommend 

 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable 

 Compound to all girls whose work 

 keeps them standing* on their feet in 

 the store. The doctor said I must 

 stop work ; he did not seem to realize 

 that a g-irl cannot afford to stop work- 

 ing. My back ached, my appetite was 

 poor, I could not sleep, and menstrua- 

 tion was scanty and very painful. One 

 day when suffering* I commenced to 

 take Lydia E, Pinkham's Vege- 

 table Compound, and found that 

 it helped me. I continued its use, and 

 soon found that my menstrual periods 

 were free from pain and natural ; 

 everyone is surprised at the change in 

 me, and I am well, and cannot be too 

 grateful for what you have done for 

 me." — MiS8 Janet Paine, 530 West
