Official communism of property was established in March of 1845, when the group signed a constitution "for the purpose of sustaining the gospel of salvation from sin and gaining the advantages of union and combined capital." Superceding an earlier arrangement that had formed a joint stock company of those members who had invested property in the corporation, this new constitution made provision for two sorts of members: those who had invested both time and property, and those who had invested time only. In the case of dissolution, profit was to be divided among all members, whether stockholders or not, in proportion to their length of service. In addition to certificates of investment, then, the corporation also distributed time-of-admission certificates. The Society was engaged on a spiritual odyssey where a member's religious conviction and time invested counted every bit as much as his material contributions to the project.") ch. 4-9 (Oneida Community founded 1848) ch. 9 (Noyes fled to Canada June 11, 1879) ch. 10 (August 31, 1880 Oneida Community became Oneida Community Ltd. or OCL) ch. 15 (Oneida Ltd. bankrupt, taken over by a hedge fund 2006; by end of 2011 Everyware acquired Oneidia as another brand for its portfolio)
