Mass Co-Operative Company (Mass, Mich.)
The co-operative movement was a characteristic feature of Finnish-American life in the 20th century, material core to the Finnish-American radical tradition. Co-operatives sold goods ranging from coffee to shingles. They were also cultural organizations, social spaces, and very often, radical political nexuses. In 1929, the movement splintered into "red" and "white" camps, the former affiliated, loosely or formally, with the Communist Party of the United States, the latter often affiliated with the Co-Operative League of America. The Mass Co-Operative Company was considered a "red" co-operative.
