The founders of every cooperative association should have a definite plan of action mapped out before the organization actively engages in business, as the lack of such a plan has resulted in the failure of many cooperative enterprises. The importance of the by- laws of a cooperative association is readily comprehended when it is realized that the purpose of the by-laws is to serve as a working plan for the organization. The relation of the by-laws to the organ- ization resembles the relation of the specifications for a building to the finished structure. The blue prints furnish the builder with a graphic representation of the work to be done and this is supple- mented by the necessary descriptive material, so that he knows before the building operations are commenced what each room is to be like and how the entire structure will appear when finished.
