Consider the Following Arguments,

most Of the cooperative organizations

+ 600 iapses to 1000 nicmbers-ihe many
!! paying of the few. Experience figures on

sociation to estimnte for our persistent
members practically what our plan sets
forth. 100 per cent, In merchandise on
| amount Invested n the Assoeiai ion. An
averngc OF only lapses per week 10 every
so members enablcs lstC consummntc our
estimate. Take a given 50 nafnes place
your own at No. 80 and estimate one
| name less each week for Certificate ma
tured and an average Of lapses or for
teiture Of standing, which constitutes n
lapse in your favor and you find you
are No. in IL weeks. Five lapses In SO is
u small percentage. A good percentage
of lapses and the addition of new mem.
considerably under the estimated time.
These arguments are sufficiently plain
and conclusive TO any one of ordinary In.
telligence. We show you our method and
otfor nothing that we cannot accomplish
with profit to all concerned.
