Our attention is once again directed to the prosperous condition of the Harvard Co-operative Society. Large additions have been made lately to the quantity and variety of the former stock. From the books which were for sale at the Society's store for some weeks before the holidays, many men were enabled to purchase appropriate and useful gifts at a liberal discount from dealers' rates.

The Society now offers for sale to its members a complete assortment of gentleman's furnishing goods of excellent quality and make. There is scarcely a need which cannot be supplied immediately from the stock always on hand at the store.

Many men underrate the value of this society. They think its benefits trifling because its prices in many things are the same as in other stores. They forget that it is the existence of the Co-operative Society that keeps the Cambridge tradesmen within bounds. If the Society for any reason should ever be forced to close its store, the truth of this statement would speedily be made manirest.

Great praise is due to the officers of the Society for the energy they have shown in its management.
