THAT means putting in some new,
handsome, and economical gas fix
tures. It means a new and improved
gas range in the kitchen and that
means an emancipation proclamation
for the housewife. These things not
only mean economy, but mean
The Home Happy
The Home Beautiful
Perhaps you are among those who
believe that gas for cooking and heat
ing is expensive. If you are, and are
open to conviction, come in and let us
convince you of your error. We can
prove it by the experiences of 6,000
users of gas in Lincoln. We have ev
erything in the way of new and im
proved gas and electric fixtures, and
furnish the gas and electricity. Open

THE MONARCH TYPEWRITER CO.
A concern that adds in an important
degree to the push and enterprise to
Lincoln is that of the Monarch Type
writer company Business has almost
completely revolutionized since the
advent of the typewriter, and today
the question is not, shall I have a
typewriter, but what kind do I want?
There are several different makes on
the market, all of which have their
good points, but for a first-class all
around machine, there is none like the
Monarch. The machine is one of the
best on the market and has been
fully tested. They can proudly say
that in the Monarch Visible typewriter
"all of the writing is in full sight all
the time." The factory of the Mon
ach Typewriter company is located at
Syracuse, N. Y. while the main offices
are located at 300 Broadway, New
York City. The Lincoln office is lo
cated at 214 South Thirteenth street
and is a branch of their Omaha office,
which is located at 411 South Fif
teenth street. la the three years that
they have been located here they have
sold a grat number of machines and
we find that some of the largest and
most reliable firms of this city are
using the Monarch Visible exclusively,
thus testifying to the many good
points of the Monarch.
Mr. George H. Graff is .their Lincoln
representative and anyone contemplat
ing the purchase of a typewriter
could do no better than to consult
Mr. Graff, who will be pleased to
explain in detail the many advantages
of the Monarch.

Fraternal insurance is a subject
that is commanding the attention of a
great many of our members and
readers, and to those who are con
templating taking out some life in
surance in a fraternal organization, we
would recommend that they investi
gate the merits of the" Royal High
landers, whose permanent offices of
the society are at. Lincoln and Aurora,
Nebraska. All the field work is
handled from the Lincoln office in the
Fraternity building under the direct
management of W. E. Sharp, president
of the society. The accounting and
clerical work is done at Aurora,
where the society owns its own office
building, a picture of which is at the
head of this article. This company
is operating in eleven states, and
their statement issued December 1,
1908, shows insurance in force $40,
000,000, surplus fund $1,000,000. This
society is a secret fraternal insurance
organization. It is formed for the
purpose of combining its membership
into local and executive bodies, for
social, educational and .financial bene
fits, upon a sound, safe and equitable
basis. Both sexes are admitted to
beneficial membership on equal terms.
The plan of insurance provides bene
fits for its certificate holders in case
of old age and death.
For the past ten years the average
death rate per thousand dollars of
Insurance carried has only been 2.34,
one of the most remarkable showings
ever made by any insurance corpora
tion. This extremely low mortality
cost can be attributed to the careful
selection of risks, a large list of pro
hibitions and a selected territory.
The cost of management has been
exceedingly low. To open all this new
territory during this, the promotion
period of the society, the average cost
of the entire management, per mem
ber, per year, has only been $1.84, or
about a dollar per thousand of insur
ance in force. The wonder of insur
ance experts.
The volume of business each year
has been great, but the increase in
the surplus funds has been ample.
This fund stands behind each cer
tificate as an actual guarantee of
prompt payment of all claims and uni
formity of cost.
The interest and commissions on
the surplus funds has brought in over
one hundred and thirty thousand dol
lars, or nearly one-third enough to pay
the entire death loss for the entire
period of ten years.
This surplus is invested in first
mortgage loans on Nebraska farms,
and the good judgment in placing
these loans is evidenced by the fact
that not an interest payment was past
due January 1, 1907.
These securities are all placed on
deposit with the -state auditor, under
the wise provisions of Nebraska's ad
mirable insurance laws.
The valuation of the property upon
which these loans are placed is over
two and a quarter millions of dollars.
Accrued averaged age of our mem
bership Is only thirty-five years.
The government of the society is
purely representative. All business is
done at the delegate conventions, only
delegates and elective officers having
a vote, so that every member is
equally represented and has a voice
in every transaction.
Each month "The Royal High
lander," the official paper, gives a com
plete financial statement, showing
every dollar received and from what
source, and every dollar expended and
for what purpose. This has been done
every month since organization, and
every member thus is kept in touch
with every detail.
Summed up, the ten years' exper
ience of the Royal Highlanders is a
wonder. 1
