This system includes the establishment of a local distributor whose function is to gather the orders and payments of from 5-10 co-op members in his area via the mail. He then compiles the orders and once a month, comes to a meeting of other local distributors to place the total order. When the order is received, he then picks up the goods for his group and arranges for their distribution. Thus is the work load shared.
