BUY-IN-NOVEMBER CAMPAIGN Price Reductions in all Departments Last November we appealed to our Shareholders and Customers to buy ;their Christmas requirements in advance in order to ease the pressure on our Staff during the December rush. The response was so general that our total sales for that month broke all records. This year we hope to do equallywell—or even better, we CAN do better if all our Shareholders and Customers will decide not to wait till December to do their Christmas shopping, but to order at once everything they will require for the next two months. During the last few weeks of fehe year this Co-operative Company, through ijts Warehouse and Branches, has to handle many thousands of orders. We wish to spread this trade over two months so that our Staff will be able Ito give really efficient service to every Customer. As an inducement to our Customers to buy now, we are reducing the prices of many lines in our Drapery, Clothing, . Footwear, Grocery, Hardware, and other Departments—reductions jthat are the more attractive in view of the hardening market for leather and cotton. Here’s an opportunity for mutual help and profitable Co-operation. Our Shareholders, by taking full vantage of our November prices, will secure very substantial savings, and the same time greatly assist their Company through the busiest period of the year. What Shareholders Say. “BOOST YOUR COMPANY.” A Co-operative Company stands for its shareholders first, last, and 43,11 the time. A shareholder should therefore be a “Booster,” not a “Knocker.” When he “boosts” his company he is really helping himself and His country. If he “knocks,” he injures his own, his company’s, his country’s credit—he misses the, full benefits of Co-operation—and b his attitude retards his Company’s progjgess, A Shareholder should know, an be able to tell jthe non-shareholder that Co-operation gives the profits back to the individual shareholder iu direct proportion to his own efforts, In the form of interest on his shares and rebates on purchases. It diffueses the profits amongst the many instead of piling them in the coffers the few. It thus increases not only the prosperity, but the comfort and'happiness of the masses, and therefore of the Dominion.

Thus it continues, and half, perhaps more than half, the trade of these shareholders is lost to their own Company, (the one which above all others has a right to expeqt their orders, and the one it is to their o\vn interests to support. So I say to my fellow shareholders—Look ahead, prepare your orders, patronise your own Company; buy everything through it, for you share the profits from every (transaction. “BE LOYAL.’* WISE BUYING SAVES MONEY. The support accorded by many shareholders is too often weak: and vacillating, wavering about from their own Company to half a dozen other companies. They never look ahead for coming necessities, consequently a hundred articles, small aand greajt,needed in the immediate future aie not at hand. What happens ? They purchase these things regardless of Shareholders should make a principle of doing all their business through their own Company. Whether jft is a'skein of wool to darn his socks, or a new milking plant for the farm, the shareholder should see that his own Company gets the order. Shareholders-should be loyal to their own Company and npt - afraid to extol its virtues. They should also be quick to refute the calumnies and malicious criticism which are inevitably directed at any successful co-op. concern by private competitive traders, envious of its popularity and business. Lastly, shareholders should majj e opportunities of introducing new buyers, from either town or country, £ 0 tbe advantages of dealing with their Company. A. BRISCOE MOORE, Moengawahine.
