TO WHOM II MAY CONCERN:
, We wish to call your attention par.
ticularly TO one clause in our leafiet
and that is our plan of assessment, by
which we create our reserve fund
This fund, we-claim, and every think
ing man must know no association can
be without it and live for any length oil
time. When person purposes joining
an association of this kind, marriage OF
otherwise, he should join that one
which he would most likely get his
money out OF, and not one that adyer-
tises lot OF mere clap-trap about emo
cost, " ECONOMY" etc, for no sensible
man can believe for an instant that he
can invest say eight dollars (Which most
certainly goes to the expense fund) and
in the course of three or four months,
without paying any more, get $500 or a
200 in return for the investment
! With such companies the whole thing
narrows down to ga far race for a pair
of boots" and those that don't get in
among the first will surely get left, end
would it be equitable and in pursuance
of the ends for which the charter is
granted for a small number of men to
enter a company of this kind and draw
out a full benefit without ever having
contributed a cent to the mutual fund
An association run on that basis will
have all members and no money, and
when the assessments do commence
they will be so large that the members
will not be able to meet them, yet YOU
will find that the PROMISE to pay YOU
800 to 5000 per month without levying
an assessment for three or four months.
All OF which they cannot, for when no
money is paid IN none can be paid out.
Our plan of assessment was agreed
upon after a thorough examination of
all the companies in existence, and we
believe we have the best The money
paid in in advance and monthly assess
ments cannot be drawn cut except for
the purpose specified in our leaflet, that
of paying our special benefits of 10 per
cent on receipt of proof, and to make up !
any deficiencies that might occur in |
future assessments. The fund which is |
held in trust for cur members is under |
control of our financial officers, who |
are bonded and whose standing in the |
business community is well known. 1t |
is no advantage to the officers to have |
the fund, but we think decided one to
the members. BY our plan of assess
ment, we expect to have to credit of re-
serve fund several thousand dollars at
the end OF the first three months of our
existence, which will insure to the bene-
ticiaries prompt and fuh settlement OF
all claims, and while our Union will
cost for the first three months the small
sum OF $l.15 per thousand, per month,
more than those companies who prom
Use to pay so much without levying an
assessment, our members can feel safe
and secure. Every member can feel, in
paying the advance assessments, that he
IS but laying up in store something that
L he does not pay now, he will surely
have to pay herea fter, and more. Bad I

nan cannot get something for nothing,

TO last.
We are building up a substantial l
mem bership upon a substantial plan, ]
