For the Attention of Branch Offices (1920)
1. This Society 154 is established by the joint efforts of comrades. Investments will
not be returned, nor will dividends or interest be paid, but the Society shall
forever be jointly owned by the investors. All branch offices should be organized
according to this procedure, in order to ensure a firm foundation. Setting up a
branch store may cost 50 yuan for fewer books, or 100 yuan for more books.
2. If it is difficult to set up an independent branch store, it might be best to affiliate
with a school or other public institution (like the Education Society, the Education Promotion Association, etc.). For branch stores organized by just three or
so comrades, they can operate in their homes. In the beginning, small stores are
154 I.e., the Cultural Book Society.
