Co-operative Society.

As previously reported, the shop and goods known as the Denaby Main Stores were taken over by the members of that recently formed Co-operative Society.

Rules of the Society have been submitted to the Registrar of Friendly Societies for England, and it is expected that in a few days all arrangements will be complete and the Society registered.

Even in its present state, when many are waiting to see whether it is a success or not, great progress has been made, and the trade has greatly improved.

On first taking over the business a large stride was made, while the fifth week’s receipts have exceeded those of the first week by more than £20.

Confidence is gradually being established, and there is no doubt that in a short time the Denaby Main Industrial Co-operative Society will be a very flourishing one.
