Sanborn Chase, 2td. General Agent. Why You should Join the . . . Knights of Damon BECAUSE Payments are limited to a cer tain age, when no more premiums will be required. BECAUSE In our laws we do not make in itiation and lodge attendance es sential to membership. BECAUSE Provision is made for the support of members who reach old age, when the probabilities are they will have no one dependent upon them, but will themselves be dependent upon others. BECAUSE Our premium is divided into twelve equal parts, and you have the option of paying it monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annual ly, without extra cost. BECAUSE We offer insurance simply for protection, and the annual differ ence in the cost of our plan and that of the “old line” companies, properly invested, will double any dividend or cash surrender offered by the “old line” companies. BECAUSE The Knights of Damon have paid all legitimate claims promptly, and will continue to do so. BECAUSE You do not know how soon your family may need our protection, and since death may fce immediate, protection should be immediate. R. N. RICHBOURG, Special Deputy. Paint 1 Paint!! Paint!!
