The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1889-10-18

is mean thing for you to go up to
Heaven, while your wife and children
go to the poor house. When they are
out at the elbows and knees, the
thought of your splendid robe in
Heaven will not keep them warm
1t matters not whaty your financial
standing may be, there is always a
chance for failure. Your affairs may
become involved, your crops may fail,
and in case ofyour death your prop
erty be taken for debt, but a policy
for Life Insurance cannot be taken
from your family, and if you have
chosen your company discreetly, it is
subject to no risk.
Paul says, "He that provideth not
for his own is worse than an infidel." If
then, it is every mans duty to insure,
it certainly is his duty, in selecting a
company, to select one that is estab-
lished on perfectly safe and eco
nomical basis; and this we claim for
the Alliance Aid Association.
There is no cheaper or safer COM
pany in existence to-day.
The Alliance Aid Association is or
gained on the mutual plan, the
SAFEST and CHEAPEST in existence.
Facts obtainable will uphold us in
the statement that there is not
Stock Life Insurance Company in ex-
istence to-day, that has been organ
lied more than fifty years, while
many mutual assessable Associa-
tions, in successful operation, are
hundreds of years old. The Count
De Winton Society is shown by the
report of the English Register to have
been established in 1853 under the
reign OF King John.
The Loyal Evann's society is
shown by the same report to have
been organized in the year 1858, and
consequently has been in existence
over five hundred years. And again,
referring to the same report, we find
that between eighty and ninety So
cieties have been in existence in Eng
land over two hundred years. While
in our country, there are mutual Aid
societies that have been in active
operation for over one hundred and
twenty-five years.
We ask your careful consideration
OF the subject. Does it pay you to
neglect this duty? Won't you live
longer and die happier with the
knowledge that your family are we'll
provided for, and that when you
are gone they will receive directly
the amount for which you are in
sured, without the necessity of Pro-
BATE COURT, where your property is
wasted by exorbitant fees of Judge
and Attorneys. Take, for example,
the probating of any estate with
which you are acquainted; ascertain
the value of said estate before being
probated, and then compare it with
the wreck that is left after being set
tied. What do you find? Usually
that the greater part OF it is gone.
Now we again ask you, can you af-
ford to neglect such an easy and di-
rect way of providing for your fam
lily?
The membership fee is IS on ST.
900, or Sc on $4,000; and you will
be required to pay an assessment in
advance, which will vary according
to age, as follows on each 81 900:
From Is to 25 years, $1.OO.
From Is to 80 years, $1.1O.
From 80 to 40 years, $1.25.
From 40 to IS years, $3.50.
From As to so years, $1.75.
From so to SIS years, 5000.
The assessment on $4,000 is Just
double that on $1,000. 1t don't
make any difference about the
AMOUNT of each assessment, so they
are properly proportioned according
to age. If in THREE assessments we
collect enough to pay Four losses, it
it is just as we'll as if we made Four
SMALLER assessments. We only as
sess for money enough to pay the
losses in any case.
How many assessments will there
probably bein each year?
1t has been demonstrated that
there is, on an average, about five
assessments each year.
What Will 1T cost per year?
The cost will vary with age ofmem-
Der, and will differ in different years,
but the following figures may assist
you in forming an idea: The U. S.
Masonic Benevolent Association, oil
Council Bluffs, cost on 81, 900, for a
member thirty years OF age, 1928
per year for the past three years. It
would have cost $22.63 in an old line
company. The same company car
ried a member of forty-eight years
for $3.50 per year. The old line rate
would be $3.50. The National Life
OF Columbus, Ohio, has averaged fo1
the past five years, IS. 25 per 81 ,OOO
at the age OF twenty-five years, OF
one-fourth the usual expense OF Stock
Life Companies.
Taking the age of a member at
