and satisfaction that / render to you

ditures for the fiscal year which
closed on June 80, 1915.
AS you well know, the past year has
| beeen one of the most trying in the
history of our trade; many factories
under our jurisdiction have been idle
| the greater part of the season and
others have not operated in full,
| which has caused number of branch
es to appeal to the association for f.
nancial assistance.
You will note by the presidents re-
port that over $4,000 was loaned to
branches and spent to the interest of
the Association during tbs season to
help the unemployed members. TAX
ing this into consideration, we have
good reason to feel proud of our fl
nancial condition at the present time.
Our income in General Funds for
the year amounts to $S6,365.S7, and in
the Death Beneficiary department to
$7S,426.65, making a total income for
the season of $164 4,792.52.
