I AM A LAPSE

I am the bitter enemy of increase.

I am the friend of thriftlessness, debt, and ill management.

I am the foe of the policyholder, causing the loss of his most valuable asset.

I am often created when a sale is not properly made and the value of the policy not fully understood.

I am also indebted for my existence to lack of businesslike methods by an agent — by his failure to let his policyholders, in a firm but pleasant manner, understand that they must pay when payment is due.

I am very seldom known to agents who constantly watch for me and who make themselves my foes.

I am one whose life can be cut short in many cases or whose birth can be prevented if the proper attention is given to me before I am allowed to exist.

I am the bitterest and most unrelenting foe to an agent’s record, taking away from him the results of production and from his company that for which it has already paid. I can kill the record of any life insurance salesman.

I AM A LAPSE.

(Editorial Note: NEVER LET YOUR POLICY LAPSE, NOR YOUR MONTHLY PREMIUMS BE IN ARREARS, FOR THE LATTER IS OFTEN THE CAUSE OF THE FORMER.)

THE UNSIGNED APPLICATION

I’ve got an app that I’ve carried around It seems to me all over town,

And I’ve asked a hundred guys to sign,

But they always hand me the same old line;

The market’s up or the market’s down Or the well went dry or the crops turned brown Or the big wind blew the old barn over Or the bulls just ruined his patch of clover

But I don’t believe the tale of their woes ’Cause it don’t fit in with their fancy clothes ’Cause every night they take the car To spend a buck at the local bar.

And there I sit with my unsigned app Alistenin’ to the yappity yap And I guess they’ll never get sick or die Preserved as they are in gin and rye

And when I climb the Golden Stairs And see St. Peter standing there And he says, “I’ll sign the app, I think” Miy darned old pien will be out of ink.

You Can Depend on the William Penn

Re: Andrew Gazsi

Dear Mr. Balogh:

Altough I expressed my deepest gratitude and thanks over the telephone yesterday afternoon for your assistance in obtaining a reinstatement of Mr. Gazsi’s certificate. I would like to take this opportunity, again, to thank you, in behalf of Mr. Gazsi and myself, personally, for your extremely kind and courteous assistance. As I indicated in a letter which I sent to your home office today, although the Association could have refused to reinstate the certificate, I believe that the action of the Association in deciding to reinstate Mr. Gazsi was in the highest traditions of a fraternal benefit association, and reflects credit to the highest degree to your Association. I believe that your Association has demonstrated a keen awareness of its moral responsibilities and obligations, and I know that your Association was deeply concerned for the welfare of Mr. Gazsi, who has been a member of your Association for many years. Again, I would like to thank you for your help.

Sincerely yours,

(Signed) Bronislaw Winnick

“The Streets Are Not Paved With Gold”

The small but growing Home Office library has been enriched with a new literary addition donated by our Cleveland, Ohio Director of the William Penn Fraternal Association, Dr. Andrew Kovács.

The book, written by Terez D. Stibran, wife of Dr. John Striban, deals with the life of Austro- Hungarian immigrants in the Cleveland area from 1900 to 1929. The author herself immigrated to this country.

To our knowledge this is thus far the only book written about immigrants from the once powerful and

glorious Austria-Hungary, the land of the waltz and the csárdás, the conglomeration of peoples ruled by an emperor-king of the ancient Habsburg line. “The Streets Are Not Paved With Gold” provides fascinating reading and should be of particular interest to all those whose parents or grandparents migrated to The United States.

The- book may be purchased by writing directly to the author:

DON’T BE FOOLED

One of our alert Field Men recently sent us pretty convincing insurance literature received by an elderly member, and the extravagance of this advertisement naturally confused the old gentleman.

This piece of highbrow insurance dissemination promises much to those age sixty and over — no medical examination, just a one dollar premium the first month, and other attractive benefits.

While the company offering this insurance to older people is a bona fide organization, we can assure all our older William Penn members that we not only can match the claims of this or any other company apiparently offering so much for so little, but in many instances can do better.

To show a few examples: The whole life plan of the company in question, for $1000 life insurance charges monthly premium rates of $7.50, $7.90 and $8.30 for ages 63, 64, 65. Comparably the William Penn, for an endowment at age 85 charges $7.38, $7.76 and $8.17 at ages 63, 64, 65. Which is the better? You know the answer!

The William Penn Fraternal Association ne.ed never be bypassed by any member — even older member. We have everything — and more — and our slogan is: BUSINESS WITH A HEART.
