The '''Army and Navy Co-operative Society Ltd.''' was a [[British]] company formed in 1871 by a group of army and navy officers. It was their intention to supply "articles of domestic consumption and general use to its members at the lowest numerative rates." Based on the model of other middle-class co-operatives, such as Civil Service Supply Association (Strand, London, 1864), the society issued tickets to its members in exchange for an annual subscription. Membership of ''The Stores'', as it became known, was open only to those in the higher ranks of the armed forces and the widows of officers, as well as the representatives of regimental messes and canteens. | The '''Army and Navy Co-operative Society Ltd.''' was a [[British]] company formed in 1871 by a group of army and navy officers.
