soundness. Its members nave a COM
mon interest in securing through it tn.
greatest possible benefits of insurance
Oh the safest plans and with the great
est economy. That is why the people
are beginning to call this Society 1.-THE
Old Line Order" because it furnishes
with the economy Of 4 Fraternity the
safety of the full legal Reserve. The
insurance plans of odd Line Com
panics" have been tried and tested and
found to be sound and reliable, but un-
fortunately certain evils have creDt in
to the management which have nothing
to do with the plans themselves. TIL.
principal evil has been the great in
crease in the expense of conducting the
business. chiefly due to having a long
list of large salari.I Cheers and ex-
tTavagant agency methods. On the
Jther hard nowhere are the possibilities
OF economical management 50 eXempli-
fed as in the Fraternal Insurance
Orders.
The American Royal Circle combines
the old Line plans With FratcrnaI
economical mama cement. II has adopt
Ell Il table of rates large enough for all
emergencies and at the same time will
create 4 Reserve Fund as large per
capita as any old line company The
premiums are much lower than tho
"Old Line" companies but solely be-
cause of difference in expense. The
American Royal Circle has the finan-
cial foundation of IN Old Line In
suranCe Company and the Fratcrnal
bond OF union of Il Fraternal Associ.

to furnish to the people Fraternal Insur-
ance on an improved and up-to-ditc plln.
