TIN JUNE, 1890, Joseph Cullen Root visited Omaha and met F: A. Falkenkenburg of Denver;
& B. W. Jewell of Manchester, Iowa; John T. Yates and Dr. W. O. Rodgers of Omaha, and
others, to establish a beneficiary society. On the 6th of June, 1890, the infant fraternity was an
nounced. An office was established in Sheely Block. H. J. Root and Ruby H. Root attended to the details of
the office, while J. C Root organized a field force and began the upbuilding of the order. John T. Yates, Sov
Glerk, soon became actively engaged in the duties of his office.
Twenty-one years o'f effort has resulted in enlisting nearly 600,000 members; establishing two
ladies' auxiliaries and promoting co-ordinate jurisdictions in Canada and the Pacific States, mak
ing a combined membership of over 800,000 men and women in the system of perfected woodcraft

Nor stockholder to exact dividends. .
An equal, mutual co-partnership.
Not temporary, but . permanent pro
tection. Not an experiment, but an established
success.
Every member has membership in the
order and contributes equally, based on
expectancy of life according, to age, cre
ating; an interest earning fund, safely in
vested, to minimise the monthly contri
butions, to assure positive payment of
death benefits, the erection of a monu
ment to the memory, of each deceased mem
ber, and to assure annual pensions to liv
ing members for total physical disability
by reason of old age.
The wonderful growth of the Wood
men of the World all over the American
continent is due to its equitable and safe
plan.. If understood it impels confidence.
