setvice and witnessed that beautiful
ceremony of remembrance
If you have not, you have missed
one of the cups Of happiness the world
holds out for you.
The order of the United Commercial
Travellers Of America is first a fra
ternal order; second, social order,
third, it besfows indemnity of $25 per
week in case Of accidental injury. In
case of death by accident it pays
$4,000 On proof of death. In addition
it pays $25 per week for ffty-two
weeks to the beneficiary
In case of the natural death Of
brother, leaving his family to the cold
charity of the world, unprovided for,
orphan thru the medium of its widows
and orphans fund.
There is no other accident insurance
company on earth that does this. The
great majority give but $4,000 in case
Of death: The U. G. T. pays $1,000
two weeks.
And all these features Of the order
cost not to exceed $l5 per annum. Can
travelling man, can a salesman or
merchandise broker afford to stay out
of an order Of this kinda distinctive
travelling man. s organization, as demo
cratic and enterprising as any on
earth, originated, officered and manned
by travelling men holding elective posi-
tions, thoroly representative in every
way; where each man has as much to
say as to policy of management as any
other man; having a supreme, council
whose officers are elected by delegates
in turn are elected by delegates from
subordinate councils, subordinate coun
ellis existing in almost every city OF
any Importance in the country9
The officers Of the subordinate coun
ellis are elected by the members Of that
council. No more ideal or representa-
tive, no more honest government coulc
be conceived. No graft scandal has
ever touched it, No misappropriatior
of moneys has ever harmed it. NJ
lf-aggrandizement has or can mar it,
efficiency. Onward it has marched
upward has been it's course; success ha
crowned it's efforts; the esteem, tn
given it; the blessings Of wives ano
widows and orphans make swee
music in the ears.
The fatherhood Of God and tn
brotherhood of man spells fraternity
and above all other of it's virtues, tn
order of the U. G. T. is fraternal.
All subordinate councils meet month
ly or semi-monthly in social and busi
ness session. The grand councils o
the various jurisdictions meet annu
ally. The supreme council always meet
annually and at the home city, Colun
bus, Ohio. ..-... e.. -. =
