Coop Begins Paying Dividends today on 1939-40 Purchases

Upon presentation of their last year's membership cards, the 9,500 members of the Coop will begin today to reap the dividends on their 1939-40 expenditures.

An increase in dividend was voted at a recent meting of the stockholders, in accordance with which members who paid cash on purchases last year will receive a 12% return instead of the usual 10% while those who had checking accounts will get 10% instead of 8%. The largest 100 dividends will be mailed out.
