Pauline NJ Townsend. The officers
of the local colony are among the best
known fraternal workers in the city,
many of them having been Interested
in different fraternal organizations for
many years. Ali of the officers, as
we'll as the members, are enthusiastic
over the prospects of the new colony,
and are all working together to make
May1lower Colony one of the largest in
surance organizations in the city.
The meetings of the new colony will
be held every Wednesday evening, in
the odd Fellows hall on East Main
street During the summer months the
meetings will be promptly at O'Clock.
Great interest has been manifested
among the people of Marshalltown in
regard to the Loyal Legion OF Plymouth
and the plan OF insurance has been APP
proved and endorsed by many of our
citizens. While the rates of monthly
payments are very little more than
other frf,ternal orders, the liberal pro-
visions OF the certificate of membership
make il especially desirable to carry
AT least some insurance with this or
der
For each one thousand dollars of in
surance carried, the member is pro-
tected TO the amount of five dollars per
week in case of accident or sickness.
This is q feature that few other or
CARNATIONS embody in their plan and Is
one that many people consider the
strongest feature Of the Loyal Legion
of Plymouth. In case of total disabil-
ity the member is paid one tenth of the
face Of his policy each year, thus pro-
yiGing a fund for the care of am I'M
fortunate member, and giving him the
benefit of his insurance at u time when
he needs it the most.
The membership Of the order is linz
tied to selected risks in the northern
states, thus ensuring Il low death rate.
The organization has adopted rate
high enough to meet all liabilities, and
conservative insurance acturies are
satisfied that the plan will never have
to be changed, but that the present
plan and rates will be permanent and
that the order can exist forever.
The home Office of the Loyal Legion
Of Plymouth is located at room 8, court
house. and will be open during the ev-
ening as we'll as during the day. in
order that any one interested may call
and investigate the plan. 1t is the in
tentior to place deputies at work In all
parts of the state at once, and anyone
looking for an opening In the fraterna!
