The Vrooman cooperative movement in Missouri and Kansas
Walter Vrooman, 33, leads a growing cooperative venture from Kansas City, aiming to replace traditional trusts with a people owned system. Ruskin Hall and Ruskin College at Trenton provide education and labor wages to students, funding farms, dairies, canneries, and factories. The Western Co-Operative Association buys stores, runs profit shares, and plans to expand to mills, farms, and transit, with a trust company and village development near Kansas City.
