It became an important manufacturing center, which made an ideal home for the National Co-operative Farm School; a normal school, which every year graduated teachers by the score. The history of Solaris as the initial farm made it so famous, that thousands of enthusiastic co-operators annually visit it.
The remaining $150,000, has been placed in the sinking-fund. "Our farm-store, has proved a very important institution.
