CBH was formed on 5 April 1933 in order to create an efficient and cost-effective bulk handling system that would reduce costs for individual farmers. This was achieved when the trustees of the Wheat Board of Western Australia and Wesfarmers Ltd registered the company together with capital of 100,000 pounds divided evenly into 100,000 shares. The cooperative was formed under the principle of one person, one vote regardless of the amount of grain supplied. Tears to top edge of dustjacket. 020315
