THE A. C. M. I.
In another column of this is
sue appe.'irs the amended articles
of incorporation of the Arizona
Co-operative Mercantile Institu
tion, which, in reality, is a con
solidation of the Arizona Co-operative
Mercantile Institution,
of Holhrook, and the Co-operative
Mercantile and Manufactur
ing Institution, of Saint Johns,
and consists of four general
stores, located at Holhrook, St.
Johns, Snovvflake and Springer
ville, two flouring mills, one at
Shumway and the other at St.
Johns, and large stock interests
in Apache and Navajo counties.
This company, which has a
paid up capital of one hundred
thousand dollars and a surplus
often thousand dollars, is one of
the largest of its class in the
territory.
The company is owned and
controlled by residents of Apa
che and Navajo counties and
when you patronize it you are
helping a home industry. The
object of this consolidation was
to put the company in a posi
tion where it could secure staple
goods in large quantities and at
a reduced price, which means a
saving of many thousands of
dollars annually to .both the
company and the consumer.
J. K.' Hulet will be general
superintendent of the new com
pany as well as manager of the
main establishment at Holhrook.
Mr. Hulet has been connected
with the A. C. M. 1. from its
beginning, some twenty years
ago, and under his management'
it grew from a small store to one
of the largest and strongest es
tablishments in the territory.
The St. Johns branch will be
managed by J. T. Lesueur, who
was one of the founders and
foremost promoters of the CM.
& M..I. Had it not been for Mr.
Lesueur's business ability such a
thriving business would have
never been built.
The Snowflake and Springer
ville branches are managed bv
J. A. Freeman and F. Lesu
eur, respectively. These gentle
men are thorough business men
and are well known in the com
munities. The officers and directors of
the company are well known
throughout the two counties and
are among the heaviest tax-payers.
The new company .will, no
doubt, prosper under its present
management and do an exten
sive business in Navajo and
Apache counties.
Sheep Grazing'.
Telegraphic orders have been
received by Forest Supervisor
Breen, from the Department, in
structing him to take prompt
action in sheep trespass cases.
It was currently reported that a
number of sheepmen intended
taking their sheep "onto the
Black Mesa Forest Reserve, in
spite of the fact that they were
not granted permits. ' " '
1 Prosecutions will undoubtedly
be made in every case, but on a
different line from the recent
cases,' which, some sheepmen
have erroneously concluded, left
the government without means
of enforcing the law.
