Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farmers Buying and Selling Organizations in New Hampshire The system under which the co-operative buying work was conducted by the granges was never very satisfactory, but resulted in the saving of many dollars to the members of the Grange, especially in their purchase of feed, flour and ferti lizers, so states Mr. E. C. Hutchinson, who acted as a local agent in Milford. Considerable difference of opinion pre vailed among the members as to Whether business should be intermingled with the social and fraternal elements of the Order. The members were too much isolated, and cannot conveniently attend to the details of the business as carefully and constantly as is necessary to the success and prosperity of the business, and we do not understand the business were commentaries made by Mr. George W. Wason, State Master, in his annual address of 1879. Another undermining influence which caused the system to result in failure seems to have been the employment of inefficient managers, often times men who were not conducting their own business affairs successfully. The annual reports of the proceedings of the State Grange reveal that the fundamental principles in co operative undertakings advocated today were then known and recognized as essential factors to success. Determined efforts were made by the state officers to establish the business on a sound basis. The weaknesses of the system were recognized but the leaders seemed unable to overcome them. During the latter part of the eighties trade cards were is sued to subordinate grange members, the use of which made possible discounts on the necessities of life at certain stores throughout the state. The members did not generally pro cure them and those who did failed to use them invariably. The Grange Co - Operative Movement seems to have been a closed chapter by 1890.
