Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consumers' Co-Operative Movement in Illinois In Part I, a historical summary Of the co-operative movements of Illinois has been made. This section traces each case in some detail from its inception up to the present time (or through the period Of its Operation). Spurious co-operatives are given attention in Part II. In Part III a cross-section Of the Illinois consumers' co-operative movement is presented, which shows the facts at the time the societies were visited in the summer Of 192 3. In this sec tion stress has been laid on the problems Which have confronted the consumers' co - operatives, as well as upon the success or failure Of the co-operatives in meeting these problems. Somewhat in contrast to the rest of the book and to other writings on co-operation are the case studies which form Appendix A. In these studies each of the existing Illinois co - operatives has been considered in its local setting, the attempt having been to give the situation as it appears to an Observer. Another section to which attention is called is Appendix C, in which the discussion centers on the status Of CO - Operative education in America.
