Dream comes true for
Co -Op general manager
For general manager of the
Hensall District Co -Operative,
Archie Couper, the official
opening of the new warehouse,
offices and store this Saturday
afternoon will be like a "dream
come true." Ever since Mr.
Couper arrived in Hensall in
196 8 to assume the role of
general manager of the growing
enterprise, he has thought of
a new building to house all
operations under one roof.
Also high in priority for the
genial general manager was the
hope of gathering all operations
of the organization as close
together as possible. At one
time the petroleum operation
as well as the fertilizer sheds
were located in the south end
of the village of Hensall, far
removed from the rest of the
operation. "I knew this would
never be successful, " Mr.
Couper said. "We were going
to have to bring all our operat-
ions as close to each other as
possible, so a close eye could
be kept on all departments by
those in supervisory positions."
I was greatly encouraged by
the energetic group of directors
who felt the same way as I did, "
he went on to say. "In a matter
of a few years, with plenty of
cooperation from all concerned
we are seeing this objective ful-
filled."
When Mr. Couper arrived in
Hensall in the fall of 1968, the
annual volume of business being
done by the Co -Op was just
over one million dollars, and
now it has grown to almost six
million dollars during the year
1973.
Prior to coming to Hensall
to manage the growing organiz-
ation, Mr. Couper was the gen-
eral manager of the Mitchell
District Co -Operative for five
years. Before that he managed
a feed mill operation in the
same town.
