In November 1895, The Altrurian — newspaper of the Colorado Cooperative Co. that was trying to establish a collective colony in western Montrose County — issued a warning to people who might wish to join:



“We do not invite any indolent individual, man or woman, that seeks a Colony with the expectation of living easy,” the paper said. “We want willing muscle owners that can swing a pick, turn over a rock, cut down a tree, load a wagon, hold a scraper, drive a team and do a thousand and one things.”
