SUCCESSFUL
FRATERNAL ORDER
The Knights and Ladies
of Security.

| The order was chartered February p,
| 1892, under the laws of Kansas, Coun-
ell No. l being organized a few weeks
prior to that time.
It's early history differed very little
from that of similar institutions, except
in that the particular plan followed by
the order attracted more attention than
is usually accorded a new society. The
plan pursued in building the order was
to first organize the society at home and
in the neighboring towns and cities and
today over two hundred councils of the
order are located within one hundred
miles OF Topeka
The order has in its seven yeers Of ex-
istence organized more than seven humid
red councils, in sixteen different states, is
sued over 1900 certifcats, and has more
than $46.0O0O00 insurance in force. It has
paid to benefciaries Of deceased members
more than 81, COCO and has Sp IN
equaled record for the prompt payment
of claims.
The reserve fund which is used by the
knights and Ladies of Security is ad-
mitted by all who have studied its pecu-
liar features to be the most equitable
plan ever adopted to secure this end, and
is today attracting the attention of the
best informed fraternal society men OF
the country.
The reserve fund accumulated IS over
S225 600, and is increasing RAPIDLY. The
following is the reserve fund plan, and II
you read carefully you will find it is
simple and just to all, and is the only
plan where the word equity applies; all
paying just the same into the reserve
fund. whether they die the first or the
fiftieth year. There is a clause in the
beneficiary certificate which reads as fol-
lows:
"And it Is herein further provided and
agreed by and between the order and the
insured, that for the purpose Of creating
and maintaining a reserve fund, OF the
death OF the party insured. the National
Council shall retain 50 Of each thousand
of said beneficiary certificate, less 81 for
each year the certificate remains In
force"
The plan creating a reserve fund, adop-
tea by the knights and Ladies' of Sc
curity. is copyrighted, the perpetual use
Of which has been secured by the order.
A gratifying and unusual feature or the
order is the number of bankers. business
and professional men who are enrolled n
