" We adhere to the philosophy that for every dollar one man gets that he does not earn some other man earns a dollar that he doesn't get.

" We believe that every man should have the fruit of his labour, but we are unwilling through sharp practice or clever manipulation to take advantage of another's ignorance or misfortune to filch his earnings for ourselves"

Everett Baker 1925 "Qualifications We Look for in Co-operative Employees"
