EXCELLENT FEATURES OF
THE ROYAL HlGHLANOERS.

This fraternal insurance organiza-
ton is now doing business in twelve
states and the foundation stone Of Its
plan is equity. By its cumulative GER
%tifcate. the provisions of which reduce
the amount of benefits of those who
die first and pay the least, and adds
to the amount of benefits of those
who live the longest and pay the most,
Is Justice meted out to all its bene-
iciaries, Other desirable and strength
ening features of the order are: It's
rapidly accommodating reserve fund,
which guarantees that neither the
number nor the amount of a members
monthly payments will ever be in
creased. nearly $500, 10000 having been
accumulated during the nine years of
its existence. The investment of its
reserve fund in first real estate mort
cages and depositing them with the
insurance department of the state OF
Nebraska. The payment of the
amount of the certificate in old age,
unless by reason of death it has ma
tured before. The admission of ladies
and gentlemen on the same terms and
in the same castle. Its monthly pay
ments graded according to age at the
time of the issuance of certificate. Its
refusal to admit tt membership, at any
price, persons engaged in hazardous
occupations, or in any manner en-
gagged in the manufacture and a of
Intoxicating liquors as a beverage. Its
very low death rate occasioned by a
careful selection of risks.
Its most beautiful and instructive
ritualistic degree work is unequaled.
Throughout the west, notably in Ne
braska, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wash
ington and California, the growth of
the order has been phenomenal, and,
considering the length of time since
the order was admitted to do business
in Wyoming, its growth here has been
extremely fiattering. Already hun
dreds of fair ladies and valiant clans
men have crossed the draw-bridge and
become towers of strength to Royal
Highlander castles in Sheridan, Buff
falo, Sunrise, Newcastle, Pine Bluff,
Lusk, Wheatland and Rawlins. In
Aurora, Neb., a city about one-half the
size of Laramie, there is a membership
of nine hundred eighty-six.
Among the prominent and enthusiast
tic members of the order in Nebraska
| are such men as William ]. Bryan, U.
S. Senator e. j. Burkett, ex-Chief JUS
tice Silas A. Holcomb, Governor e. j.
Hainer, ex-Secretary of State Porter
and the head consul of the Modern
Woodmen of America, Hon. A. R. Tai
bot, who in a letter to the executive
castle of the Royal Highlanders says:
81 cannot let this opportunity pass
without expressing my admiration for
this splendid organization, managed
by a body of conscientious, honorable
and thoroughly capable business men,
with a plan and system most attractive
to business men everywhere, its con-
tinued success and permanency is as
sured Forced by conditions over
which | have no control, | must be
absent from you during the week and
extend a patient greeting from one
who believes in the Royal Highlanders
as an institution second to non in the
fraternal world
The Royal Highlanders make no
war upon other fraternal orders, and
members of several other orders, all
of which ae working together for the
social and material benefit of all fra
ternalists, their families. their rela.
tives and their dependents.
