Week, May II to %. Agents
Of The companies operating
here cordially invite the policy
holders, ministers, professional

general public to help them
make this week the high water

The Negroes low economic
position would be materially
raised If insurance, to the limit
of the ability to pay the prem

member of the family. Every
death (as death must come) N
families thus protected would
strengthen rather than weaken
the financial standing. Our
Jewish friends have long since
used this method of raising
their economic position. Vel
