INCORPORATED 1880.
SUN MUTUAL AID SOCIETY
OF BALTIMORE.


The officers and References are gentlemen
of well known business and Professional
standing, and reputation.
THE OBJECT OF THE ASSOCIATION IS
list. To secure to its memaers or their heirs
sum of Money at time when it is
most needed.
3D. To insure such benefits at the lowest
cost.
RELIABILITY.
The Principles on which the Society is
founded are as old as history; the funds are
held by the members themselves, until need
ed to pay dues and benefits.
MEMBERSHIP.
ANY person Mate or F6ilute in good health
between the ages of 20 and 50 may become
members of the Association.
PRACTICAL WORKING.
The members agree to pay annual dues, (for
current expenses and assessments, as rated,
until such assessments shall exceed the
amount required to pay certificate in full;
when they will be assessed only such pro-
rate proportion as may be necessary to make
up the sum needed, to pay q Certificate; all
the members will be assessed. as rated in the
Tables, and cannot be assessed for more.
EXAMPLE.
Take our assessment on certificate ofsl250 !;
all who hold Certificates for that amount,
will be assessed as rated according to their
ages AS for instance, persons IRON 30 to 40,
would be assessed one dollar. Certificates of
$500 would be assessed to meet a loss of
81 250--L the amount as rated. and Certifi-
Gates for $1,000, 4 their rated assessment.
thus the plan is purely Mutual and strictly
Equitable.
PERMANENT DISABILITY.
In case member should become perma-
nently disabled, fftv per cent. of the value of
their certificates will be paid to them then,
ahd fifty per cent more at Maturity OF years
a most benevolent and desirable provision.
MATURITY OF YEARS.
Members who live to their years of Expect
ancy, will be paid. in their life time, the
amount of their certificate (old age in ma
jority OF cases, is time of most need.)
EXAMPLE.
Take person of 40 years of age, at the time
of Joining. Their expectation of life, as per
the Carlisle Tables, is q years. Should such
person live to be 81 years of age, he or she
would then receive, IN cash lin their lifetime. J
the amount of their certificate.
SPECIAL FEATURES.
The permanent disability provision and the
payment to living members, of Matured Ger
fiicates, render membership, in this associa-
ton more desirable than in Societies. that pay
benefits in case of death only.
WHO ARE SPECIALLY INTERESTED.
Every member has personal interest in
the growth and welfare of the society and
should be active in inducing Others to become
members as the larger the membership, the
less will be assessments, and the greater the
the value of the certificates.
