What reading level is The Granger Movement in Illinois book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Enterprising business men were quick to take ad- vantage of this belief and advertised their firms extensively as Grange supply houses. At this time Montgomery Ward's pres- ent department store was started as a supply store for grangers, and in its early days its patrons were chiefly members of the order. During the first years that the new plan of purchase was in operation the amount saved by grangers on commodi- ties of all kinds may be fairly estimated at no less than 20 per cent, of the cos...t of their purchases at previous prices. 1 As com- petition reduced prices to a more stable scale, the average sav- ings through the concentration of orders and direct dealings with the wholesale houses was probably not above 10% on the retail prices, though there are many individual instances after 1875 where grangers claim to have saved 20 per cent, and even 30 per cent, in this way.
As the system became more firmly established, both its advantages and disadvantages became more evident. A saving was still effected on some goods, but on others which could not be ordered in large quantities there was no gain.
