OUR TWENTY YEAR LIFE PLAN.-The
Life Division of the order of the Iron
Hall combines the safest, the best and
the most equitable form of protection in
case of death that has ever been devised.
Certificates are issued for 1000. s., 900
and s., 900, payable at death to the de-
signated beneficiary. After holding a
certificate in this division for three ears,
it may be exchanged for a paid certifi,
cate for one-twentieth of the face of the
original. and for subsequent years one
twentieth additional for each year up
to twenty. and the member pays no
further assessments. After a member
ship for TWENTY YEARS, the member
receives paidup certificate in full, pay
able at death without further payment
of assessments.
The Life Division commenced business
July 1. 1891. 1t has 1900 members. and
is rapidly increasing, thus insuring pay
ment in case of death for the full amount
of the certificate. 1t is open to both
sexes between the ages of 18 and IS
years. the rate of assessment varying
according to age, but does not increase.
The Life Division comprises also that
bulwark of strength which has rendered
the Benefit Division of the Iron Hall so
successful and so popular. Twenty per
cent. of all assessments in the Life Di-
vision constitute Reserve Fund which
is dedicated to the reduction of future
liabilities when needed to prevent over
taxation at any season of unusual NOR
tality. ARE You A MEMBER ? JOIN OUR
ORDER. All persons of good moral char
acter between the ages of IS and IS years,
and of sound bodily health, are eligi-
BILE to membership in either the Benefit
or Twenty-Year Life Division, or both.
Local branch No. 30, Order Iron Hall,
was organized in Martinsburg, w. Va,
Sept. s, 1881, and including May /, 1891
has paid to its members on expiration of
seven years, $35, $500 !; has paid in disa-
bility benefits including Aug. 20, 1891,
4,615.00; Total $40, $1,000. Is not this
