The ordinary corporation, a commercial corporation; a corporation organized to engage in some business for profit; as the term is used in the Bankruptcy Act, a corporation the sole motive of which is pecuniary gain and the chief purpose of which is to carry on trade or commerce in an established field and to do this primarily for the financial benefit of those who have joined in its organization and in the conduct of its affairs. Wisconsin Coop. Milk Pool (CA7 Wis) 119 F2d 999.
