“ PIET VLAG TO THE CO-OPERATORS
COMRADES AND CO-OPERATORS:
Here is your magazine. It is human. It is attractive. It is inexpensive.
The MASSES PUBLISHING COMPANY was organized at our instigation; it has no capital to speak of; it is dependent upon your support—and that is sufficient.
Co-operation has to be studied. We must have a means of reaching all the people interested in co-operation. Then we will eventually centralize to such an extent that the middleman will be eliminated. ”

“ Do you believe in Socialism?
Do you believe Socialism is practical?
Do you want to help us convince the people that Socialism is a practical, economic movement?
If you do, then help us teach the people practical co-operation. ”

“ This highly centralized and closely organized co-operative movement can only be created by steady, insistent agitation and education.
If you want the magazine to live, help it now. The offer as quoted above makes it possible for every one of you to do something. If only one-tenth of the co-operators get busy and do a few things, the magazine will live. But don't forget, you must get busy.
