The Oxenhope Industrial and Provident Society Limited prepares to trundle a meticulously-balanced display of Co-operative Corn Flower and CWS Marmalade through the village at the start of an Edwardian gala procession in Leeming.

By the early years of the 20th Century, the Co-operative movement had diversified into most aspects of life. The Lees and Cross Roads CIS Limited not only operated grocery, drapery, butchering and boot and clog departments, but also delivered coal, ran a savings bank and, from 1905, organised an annual Children's Festival.

The Keighley Industrial Co-Operative Society Limited, in addition to a comprehensive range of departments and some manufactures, built houses, ran a restaurant, and offered its members such amenities as a library and newsroom, educational lectures and ambulance classes, and published a periodical, the 'Keighley Co-operative Bee'.

By 1910 the Keighley Society had a Central Store plus 24 branches, employing 283.

It had its own abattoir, and the manager of the Butchering Department regularly attended cattle markets and visited farms to select suitable beasts.
