Coop's Sales Lead All College Stores

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The Harvard Cooperative Society is, according to the New York Times, the leading financial performer among the "college stores" of the country. Its annual volume of business has grown from $830,000 in 1931 to $4,500,000 last year, putting it well ahead of the field.

Even with this great increase, the Coop is preparing to expand. Upon the completion of the new Harvard Trust building, next to Albiani's, it will occupy what is now the first floor of the Trust's building. The bank will retain the upper floors and will also use the entire new building. This move will nearly double the Coop's selling space.

Many colleges plan to expand their present facilities. Yale and Cornell are building new stores, and Princeton also plans to enlarge its college store to accommodate the possibilities for increased sales volume.
