fifty persons in this group. One day, instead of other subjects, their focus of
discussion was ‘Market Prices of Different Goods’. During the discussion, the
emphasis laid on the point was that goods become very costly by the time they reach
the consumers after getting transported from the producers. Consequently, everyone's
budget is getting disturbed. To get rid of this problem some people suggested that
they should join together to form a society. The society would sell the goods to all the
members as per their requirements after buying them in a large quantity directly from
the producers. This suggestion was appreciated by them. They all became members
of the society and encouraged other people also to become its members. In no time,
100 members assembled and the society was formed. The idea of forming the society
immediately proved to be successful. Now their budget became balanced. A special
characteristic of this society was that apart from its members it was also selling goods
to the other people of the society at cheaper rates. All of them were very happy with
the formation of the society.
