Finances.
"The financial condition Of the order
at this time Is one that should appeal
to every member and should be used
successfully in soliciting members
who look upon this side of the bust
ness. The year 1910 closed with a
large surplus in the beneficiary fund,
which allowed OF transfer Of over
$4,000 to the reserve fund, IN addition
80 the reeular monthly apporuonment.
The expenses of the order for promo
ton deputies. etc, We're heavy but
the general fund was not depleted and
the balance az the end Of the year
almost equaled that Of close Of 1903,
The reserve fund shows material gains
from interest earned and transfers
from the beneficiary fund from month
to month IN az the close OF the year
showed that we had on hand in cash
and securities something over 100000
in all funds, which / am glad 70 say
