Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The People's Year Book and Annual of the English and Scottish Wholesale Societies, 1920: A Volume of Useful Information Prepared by the Co-Operative Press Agency
The co-operative wholesale societies (english and Scottish). The difficulties of compiling a work of this description have not been lessened considerably since the end of the great war, particularly in respect to that part of the work concerned with statistical information. Government Departments have not yet brought themselves up to the pre-war standard of punctuality in issuing official figures. This has caused delay in closing the pages of this year's volume, and left us, as last year, short of some of the matters we could like to have included. We are, however, desirous of expressing our gratitude for the support accorded us last year. We Shall try to deserve its continuance in future. We present this year's volume at cost price, with the hope that the careful compilation of useful and instructive pages will be justly appreciated. It is not for us to dilate upon the merits of the volume. In labour co-operative, and kindred subjects we have covered a wide field of national and international activities, and exercised the greatest care with regard to the source Of our information.
