Clipped from the Sovereign
Odd Fellow: "Odd Fellowship,
while in no sense an insurance
order, pays out more money in
relief, in proportion to it's re-
ceipts, than any insurance or
der in existence"
THE value of Oddfellowship
as a practical and worthy benev
olent organization is nightly
attested by it's rapid growth. 1t
is not a century old and statis-
tics give it the high place in
point of membership"
"Oddfellowship is a great cor
poration organized for the pur-
pose of relieving the distressed,
burying the dead, educating the
orphan and caring for the wild
ow. Every member is an equal
shareholder, and all members
are directors with equal pow
ers. It's dividends are not re-
corded in dollars and cents, but
are set aside as the treasury
stock, and held in the hearts
and affections of it's members
and those who have been the
recipients of it's many benefac-
tions."

said to your credit that he did
the best he could.
