Mr. Jenner. You start out at the end rather than the beginning, Mrs. Paine. We don't want to go too far back, but let's go back to your high school days. Was your father an insurance——
Mrs. Paine. He worked for the same company then.
Mr. Jenner. The same company, in Columbus, Ohio?
Mrs. Paine. Yes.
Mr. Jenner. Have your parents had any interests in political matters?
Mrs. Paine. Yes. Most of that interest I absorbed from hearing it told about, rather than being around when it was going on. Most of the activity was in New York and, as I have said, I moved 2 weeks after I was born from New York. But they have always been interested in what is called the cooperative movement.
Mr. Jenner. Tell me what you understand——
Mrs. Paine. My understanding is that the consumer owns the business. In other words, holds the shares, the stock that control, and determine the management of the business, and share in the profits.
Mr. Jenner. Is that something like what I would call a farmers cooperative?
Mrs. Paine. I don't know what farmers cooperative is.
