their business conditions improve 

 through the expenditures of others, 

 and In which they have for many 

 weary months been invited to join? 

 We put these questions at this time 

 to all non-subscribers — this glorious 

 Christmas time, when good will is so 

 strongly accentuated, and the better 

 selves of all of us respond to the ap- 

 peals of conscience. Why not resolve 

 to donate a small percentage of your 

 Christmas profits to the Campaign 

 Fund — your Campaign Fund, promoted 

 in your interests, and productive of so 

 much good for you? Thousands of 

 dollars have been spent from the fund 

 to make your Christmas business big. 

 Put a little back — you owe It. 



Life Memberships. 



Practically only ten days remain in 

 which to take out life memberships in 

 the Society at the old rate of $25.00. 

 At the Detroit Convention it was 

 unanimously voted to increase the an- 

 nual dues from $3.00 to $5.00, and the 

 life membership fee for members in 

 good standing from $25.00 to $50.00, 

 the Increases to take effect from 

 January 1, 1920. 



The advantage in life membership 

 at the present rate is obvious — in five 

 years a member will have paid in an- 

 nual dues what can now be made in 

 one payment, forever relieving the 

 member from the payment of further 

 dues, besides removing the necessity 

 for keeping track of annual subscrip- 

 tions and the bother of making re- 

 mittances. Many members consider 

 it an honor to be on the life member- 

 ship list, and point with pride to the 

 handsomely framed and most impres- 

 sive certificate, or diploma, which is 

 issued to each life member. 



Look at the matter in the light of 

 an investment, and send me your 

 cheque for $25.00, if In good standing; 

 If not in good standing, add your dues 

 for 1910, making the cheque $28.00. 

 New members coming in as life mem- 

 bers must pay $30.00, the difference 

 being the amount of initiation and 

 first ypnr's dues. 



Owing to the large influx of life 

 members, some little delay has been 

 experienced in engrossing, framing 

 and despatching certificates, but we are 

 catching up with the work as fast as 

 possible. 



A now supply of life membership 

 buttons has just been received and the 

 same are being furnished at 75 cents 

 each, and mailed on receipt of this 

 amount at the Secretary's office.
