Returned Soldiers Propose Statewide Co operative Trading Body
At a metropolitan Returned Soldiers Association meeting, W J Henderson outlined a draft plan for a Perth based returned soldiers cooperative trading organisation with branches across the State. The scheme seeks to buy direct from manufacturers overseas and locally to cut costs, fund a strong reserve, employ soldiers under a rotational training system, and expand into bakeries and boot factories while opening shares to the public. A five to seven member board would be elected, with preferential dividends and a capped monthly call, and a policy of no credit and merit based advancement.
