THERE’S A REASON
WHY THE MOOSE LODGES
ARE GROWING SO FAST
The Loyal Order ot Moose of the World was first organ
ised at Louisville, Kentucky, on April 12, 1888. For a short
time its membership was confined to the mother lodge, but
soon it began to spread. Today there are 2,000 lodges with a
membership of more than one million. The Moose are grow
ing faster than any other fraternal order. There is a reason.
The Moose pays its members a benefit of $10 per week when
misfortune overtakes them and they fall sick. The Moose
provides for the burial of its deceased members and cares for
their loved ones left behind. Their children are educated
and given a chance to win in the battle of life without handi
cap. The order provides for the declining days of Moose,
both men and women. The charter initiation fee is only $10
and dues $3.25 quarterly.
There is no better way to provide for the future of ypur
family than by becoming a member of the Moose. For fur
ther particulars see National Director J. Frederick Johnson.
“Get the password, get the rap;”
“Join the Moose and be a PAP!”
