CO-O PERATION standardizes me
thods o f doing business, brings out
new ideas, regulates errors and old
methods to the ash heap. It tends to
progress and never to retrogression:
in fact it is coupled up with Life,
which is the law o f progress.
CO-OPERATION is badly needed

be mastered by anyone alone: and the
longer these problems remain un
solved the harder it will be to over
come them. I have already stated
that organization is C O -O P E R A

manufacturer join their respective
associations and lend their moral
support at least in putting over a
constructive programme that shall
bring lasting benefits.
