Dividend

English to German Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Margaret Thatcher's biography
The Robertses were as non-Co-op as they were non-Catholic. There were several Co-operative stores in Grantham, favoured by a working-class clientele, like Mary Robinson's family, which looked forward to the dividend: 'after so long you got your Dividend, which was quite helpful for poorer people'.

I am just curious: how long is this biography??? You seem to have an extraoridnarily long text to do.. but it sounds very intriguing and sheds some light on "the iron lady"

Dividende (or Gewinnanteil)

This is just like a stock dividend. If your co-op was organized in this way, you got money, just like a stock dividend if there was a profit.

If it was organized differently, you go a bonus or such.
