Vrooman closes six wheat elevators in Kansas plan
Walter Vrooman of the Western cooperative movement has secured contracts for six large wheat elevators in the Kansas wheat belt and two flour mills at an estimated cost of 750000 dollars. He leaves for New York to finish financing and aims to form the Wheat and Flour Western Cooperative Co. Farmers join by paying 100 dollars each to receive market value wheat, plus half the profits, while the other half funds cooperative stores. The scheme seeks to cut out middlemen and speculators and blocks a New York flour trust by shipping surplus to Britain for cooperative members.
