"MAKER OF FORTUNES" ~

Ever since its discovery —
in vast reservoirs beneath the
surface of the earth — petro-
leum has been the maker of
fortunes,

And, like most of nature’s
resources needed by a grow-
ing and hungry world, most
of the wealth derived from
the petroleum industries has
gone to a privileged few.

But the pattern may not
last for long.

The co-operative movement
— whose members feel that
through joint buying and sell-
ing they can provide for their
needs without the profit mo-
tive — has made a significant
inroad both into the produc-
tion and distribution of petro-
leum products.

Today there are eight out-
lets in southern British Co-
lumbia which operate as
Co-op Petroleum Services.

They are located at Dun-
can, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Al-
berni, Burnaby, Mission,
Canoe and Genelle.

Operated by consumer co-
operatives already established

THE WESTERN CANADIAN LUMBER WORKER

and respected in their com-
munities, these operations are
built and supplied in conjunc-
tion with the B.C. Co-opera-
tive Wholesale Society, a non-
profit organization represent-
ing some 200 local co-ops in
the province.

In some areas, such as in
Duncan, two co-ops joined to-
gether to build a bulk plant
and retail facilities for mem-
bers of both their organiza-
tions.

All of the operations of Co-
op Petroleum Services pro-
vide home heating fuels for
their customers and most of
them also provide automotive
gasolines from service sta-
tions.

Today thousands of con-
sumers in British Columbia
are able to buy a complete
range of Co-op Petroleum
products, including gasolines
for cars, trucks, and farm
equipment, lubricants, and
home heating fuel delivered
in modern tank trucks.

Bearing the “Co-op” label,
many of these products come

... how big should an airline be?

Simple: big enough to buy and fly the best
equipment, hire the top personnel, and provide
dependable on-time service on a variety of

routes ..

. but small enough to enjoy that personal

touch with the people it serves. Such a line is

Co-op Petroleum Services
— like other co-operatives
are non-profit organizations.
Earnings from operations are
considered joint savings of
the members and are event-
ually returnable to the mem-
bers.

In all cases, prices and the
quality of service are com-
petitive with those of other
suppliers,

Co-op Petroleum Services
has one and only one pur-
pose: to meet the needs of
its member-customers.

With such a goal, it is a
strange and welcome new-
comer to the “black gold” in-
dustry. And with such a goal
it is here to stay, as more and
more co-operatively owned
petroleum service plants and
stations appear on the streets
and highways of British
Columbia.
