West Benhar Co-operative Society was established on 24th December 1885 and opened a branch in Harthill in 1886 and Blackridge in 1889. It joined West Lothian Co-operative Society in 1969, which became part of the Scottish Midland Co-operative Society Limited in 1982. One way to ensure the custom of members was to issue tokens for use in co-op branches. Most society had their own tokens, which could be purchased when funds were plentiful and used in exchange for goods, possibly towards the end of the week, when money was short.

The Co-Operative Group (Co-Op) is today the UK’s largest Mutual Business and its 5th largest food retailer. Rather than being run on the same business model as the major supermarkets, the Co-Op (like Credit Unions) is run for and by its members. Besides retail, the Co-Op’s family of businesses includes a retail pharmacy chain, funeral homes, independent travel business, legal services, own petrol stations, banking and insurance services. In total, they employ around 90,000 people in over 4,500 outlets across Britain.
The Co-Operative Wholesale Society (CWS) was formally established in 1863 and by 1867 also included the Co-Op Insurance Company Ltd followed by the Co-Operative Bank in 1872. Their first Congress was held in 1869 and represents the annual national conference of the UK Co-Op Movement. Congress venues are held at different locations and have issued specially designed badges for the events. In 1938 the venue was Bath that was attended by 1,944 delegates. On this basis, I presume around 2,000 of these badges were made.

With the Baguette Express moving out of the Cowgate the old Kirkintilloch Co-operative Society's signage has been revealed with the renovation of the shop front. I don't recall a Co-op shop here so couldn't say what it sold. It's across the road from the Regent Centre behind the bus stop. I do remember there was a Lipton's store across the road from it with a 'Harry Worth' type mirror at the door where you could stand and lift one leg and arm and it looked like your were lifting both arms and legs at the same time! I hope the artwork is preserved under the new frontage.

I regret introducing this rather disgusting image into the purview of gentle Flickrites but, well, it was an intriguing thing to see. As it was a Bank Holiday yesterday and the weather was fine, Mrs B and I decided to go for a Woodland Walk. It was Mrs B who noticed the natural drama taking place at the edge of a path. The corpse of a toad was being mined by carrion-eating bugs. I use the word "bug" not in the American sense of "insect" but to mean a member of the order Hemiptera for, to my amateur entomologist's eye, these look like true bugs ...possibly some variety of shield bug. Anybody know what they are? I can't find them in either of my two field guides. I would add that the photograph was taken in a heavily wooded part of south Norfolk, at the edge of Thetford Forest.

By the Industrial and Provident Societies Acts of 1852 onwards, the regulatory regime that had originally only covered friendly societies was extended so as to apply also to co-operatives. The Acts conferred legal status on co-operative societies, allowing them, for example, to trade, to own land and other forms of property and to litigate on behalf of the membership. In return they submitted to certain reporting and inspection requirements, designed to ensure sound management practices and effective auditing.
The annual reports of the Registrar of Friendly Societies illustrate the steady growth of the Park Lane Society from the date of its establishment in 1877. By the end of its first full calendar year of operations there were 108 members and goods to the value of £3,777 had been sold. The corresponding figures for the year ending 31 December 1911 were 1335 and £58,873. There were 2170 members by the time of the Society's annual meeting in 1921.
From 1885 there is evidence of small sums being spent for “educational purposes”. Some indication of what these were is given by the following articles from the Wigan Observer & District Advertiser:
[15 February 1905:] “A lecture was given under the auspices of the Educational Department, at the Independent Methodist Chapel, Downall Green, on Monday evening, Feb 6, by Mr James Johnson, JP, of Manchester, his subject being “Municipalisation”... In the course of his address he said it was the business of everyone to try and bring about better conditions for the workers. It was a duty the people owed to themselves. He advised them not to send anyone to their councils who had particular interests to serve. He referred to the better housing of the workers, the removing of the slum areas, and providing of open spaces, parks, baths &c., for the benefit of the people. A vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and lecturer of the class.”
[10 April 1909:] “On Monday week the annual children's social in connection with the Education Department was held in the Village Institute, Bryn, upwards of 300 children being present. Mr W Lowe (general secretary) presided and gave a very interesting address. Mr Henry Jackson, of Wigan, also gave the children some very good advice and remarked that he had never gone through a better lot of papers than those of their children's class. They were a credit to the children and to the teacher, Mr Hodgkinson of Downall Green,who must have taken great pains with his pupils... Mr Lowe distributed the prizes. During the evening a boot polishing and spoon polishing competition took place... To each boy and girl were presented a box of bon-bons, an orange and a tin of polish”.
A figure for “productive expenses” appears in the reports for 1899 and subsequently. In this connection it may be relevant to note that, in 1914, Ashton-in-Makerfield UDC gave permission for a “dairy, stables, cart sheds etc” for the Society on “land off Wigan Road” (Wigan Archives ref. UD Ash/A/A1/38).

The Co-Operative Flint Glass Company was founded in 1879 as the Beaver Falls Co-Operative Glass Company. As the early name indicates, this company was located in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Several styles of this 4.5" high and 7" long elephant covered container were produced in the late 1920's. The lid forms the back of the elephant. The various shapes of lids include a natural back, a flower frog style back with holes, an ashtray back with cigarette rests, a back with a recessed rectangle, and a back with a circular indentation that holds a silver ball. The bottoms of all the containers are the same. Colors made include amber transparent, black, cobalt, crystal, crystal with fired-on colors, green transparent, milk and pink transparent ruby, and light blue transparent. There are at least two different shades of light blue--aqua and a deeper Ritz blue. In 1981, these elephants were made in crystal and filled with red, white and blue jelly beans for distribution to members of the National Federation of Republican Women. In 1983, the Tiara Exclusives Division of Indiana Glass Company marketed this elephant in pink satin, blue satin, green satin and crystal with an etching. Later, the mold was acquired by a Midwest importer and reproductions have been seen in pink, green ruby and cobalt from this source. These later issues all have a natural back.
