The newly -formed Grey, Bruce District Co-operatives Inc., is hop- ing the raise $750,000 of an esti- mated $2.25 million needed to take over the business. It hopes to raise the money in a membership drive that will see six Co-op outlets become member -driven businesses, rather than UCO owned. The move is one way out for the financially strapped ' United Co- operatives of Ontario (UCO) to get out of the retail business, but still be involved as a wholesale supplier, and to continue research and devel- opment in feed products and crop inputs. John Black of Glenelg Township, a former chair of the UCO, is behind the new initiative. He said the move to a member- ship -owned business resulted from as move by UCO to get out of the retail end of the business. It wants to sell Co-op mills and stores in the province it owns; some are already member -owned such as North Wel- lington Co-op in Harriston and Mount Forest, as 'are outlets in Lucknow and Teeswater. Black said all the UCO outlets in Bruce and Grey are UCO -owned and the Co-ops included in the new Grey -Bruce Co-operative are Port Elgin, Wiarton, Chesley, Owen Sound, Kincardine and Markdale. Mildmay, Belgrave and Auburn are joining up with Teeswater. And •Hanover and Durham Co-ops are negotiating with North Wellington. The final plan isn't known yet of how the initiative will. affect com- munities that have Co-op stores, but Black said the plan is to "have a presence" in those communities. The central office will likely be in Chesley and that's where the new general manager, Doran Bryant will work out of. Before any of this happens, though,. Black said one-third of the $2.25 million balance sheet needs to be raised through member loans. People who invest money in the new Grey -Bruce Co-operative will receive 7 per cent interest for five year loans, and 7.5 per cent for eight years. The initial- lifetime membership fee is $100, plus there's a $400 member loan which will bear inter- :st. However, Black said he's hoping quite a number of people will invest more than the minimum $500. The strength of the Co-op lies in having many investors, rather than few, he said. • "Our investors will be our cus- tomers. That's been the backbone of the Co-op," Black said investing in the Co-op is open to rural and urban people as both sectors are valued customers. In return for investing in the busi- ness, he said profits will be returned to the user/owners. The expectation is to' have 40 to 45 member -owned Co-op stores across Ontario. Though Grey and Bruce cus- tomers are only now being can- vassed for their support, Black is hopeful the Co-op will get the 1,000 member -investors he expects. "There seems to be a lot of inter- est in it. There's a need for Co - Black's. interest in the Co-op goes back Co 1956 when he joined the Markdale branch. He served as (JCO's chair from 1986 to 1989. Today he continues to farm with his family, and is also clerk -treasurer of Glenelg Township, "I saw the merger take place when I first joined and now it's (UCO) demerging." To promote that end, the motto is: "A proud tradition with a new beginning". Black is a faithful supporter because of the democratic control Co-ops offer and the principles behind them. Members have one vote in decisions, no matter how much money they have invested. It thereby gives a person with a limited ability to invest some say in the direction of the Co-op. The Co-op also allows member - owners to share in the profits in proportion to the amount of busi- ness they do with the Co-op. Black calls it a "patronage dividend". Though there is risk attached to investing in the new venture, just like any other investment, Black said he "would like to think it's a good investment. The security is in running the business viably." The goal is to have a good indica- tion by the end of Mauch on whether the Grey -Bruce Co-operat- ive Inc. will succeed. Members of the organizing com- mittee are: John Black, Paul. Ahrens, Chesley, Dennis Bridge, Kincardine, Murray Ribey, Port ' Elgin, Larry Hambly, Wiarton, and - Ken Mitchell, Owen Sound. If you are interested in investing in the new Co-op, please .call one of the above, or drop into one of the Co-op stores involved in the initiative. • WATSON'S -�� / I_- FOR ALL YOUR BUILDING NEEDS WATSON HOME HARDWARE & -B UTITIMNG EN TRE *Quotes Available Corrie 335-3551. ,Eai...;•..o e
