Description
Photograph of children selling valentines. "Fourth grade children at Jerome, with the help of their teacher, Miss Era Nixon and the Community Cooperative Association, planned and operated a cooperative valentine store. There were many details to attend to - purchasing the valentines, decorating the store, assigning salespeople, advertising. Business boomed and over 8,000 valentines were sold enabling each child to realize a profit of 40 cents on his original investment of 63 cents."
