When Most Needed
If l should die tonight, would
my loved ones be paupers? Would
they have the comforts of life, or
would my death expose them to the
Ills of poverty and condemn them
to years of toll to obtain what |
how have the opportunity to pro-
vide at the cost of a few cents?
Stop, stranger, and consider.
There is n thing certain in this
world and that is death. In every
family there is someone upon whom
that family depends and that some
one must leave something to take
lhis or her place after death. Few
Rmen or women, work as hard as
they may, ever accumulate a COM
potency.
We commonly think of men as
the sole bread-winners, but there
are thousands of noble women who
provide for sisters, brothers, child
rem and parents.
Experience has demonstrated the
fact that it is just as essential for
woman to carry insurance as for
man.
When a woman does, how often
do her loved ones suffer for the
need of what afew cents will buy?
How, then, can we assure ourselves
that on our passing away those we
love will not be left destitute or a
charge upon others?
The Woodmen Circle offers you
this protection.
Cooperative Saving
How? By a cooperative saving.
What does this mean? It means
THAT you can join the Woodmen Cir
Gle, a great f~raternal beneficiary
society. Pay in each month a small
amount and be certain that when
the pale spectre overtakes you that
loving friends wifi speedily send the
amount due on your policy to your
