Horvath, may we all have the pleasure of enjoying another of your “volumes.” Fraternally, “Ima Stillhere” ——o----“When my Dreamboat comes home” Dreaming about the future, how often do we ask ourselves: “Will my ship ever come in? And every secret hope, every .reasured wish is silently expressed in this ageold question. But ships seldom come in unless we, ourselves, do something about it, unless we make proper efforts for its reception when it comes in sight. NOW YOUR SHIP IS IN SIGHT! ! ! Opportunity is knocking at your door! Once in a great while dreams do come true and this is one time when your wishes may be fulfilled. The ship of your dreams is nearing your port. You are hereby invited for a trip to Europe, for a wonderful tour on the Continent and a few weeks stay in Hungary. All without any cost to yourself. The Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association this year again, is offering to its Verhovay Journal younger members the chance of a lifetime. A wonderful trip to Europe. Have you stopped to think what this means? What it means when your ship comes in and you on board the palatial steamer, not in your dreams, but in reality. And if you will travel in the right direction on the sea of life, this ship, your ship will surely come in. A little work, a little effort, devotion to your fraternal association, the helping hand of a few friends — and your ship will be in. And then you sail your ship, to Europe. Bremer-haven, the world famous port of Germany, with its strange setting, an entirely different world before you. Then travelling through Germany, Czecho-Slovakia, and Austria aboard the Verhovay Special Train. Beautiful Vienna on the Blue Danube, AND HUNGARY! Budapest, the world-famous pearl-city on the Danubian valley, the thousandyear old dream city of the Old Country. You will be treated royally while over there, they will dine you and wine you, they will show you the never-tobe-forgotten Hungarian villages, the great Alföld, the colorful life of the people, the country from which your parents came. Can you picture a more ideal vacation, a more wonderful experience, a more lasting education, than this free trip? And it is yours almost for the asking. There will be twenty-five of these grand prizes given away in our great contest and you can easily secure one for yourself. What do you have to do, to have the ship of your dreams come in? All you need to do is to secure members for the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association. Look around you. Ask your friends, relatives and neighbors to join. Ask your friends to help you in this drive. If you decide to take part in this contest, which started on October 1, 1937, write to the Main Office, and they will be glad to supply you with every necessary information. Whether or not you will win one of the twenty-five grand prizes, you will receive the usual commission after each member you secure, therefore, you can only gain by entering the contest. Do not delay. Don’t forget, that, “the early bird catches the worm.” Regardless of where you live, you have a great chance of being among the winners. Do not be discouraged ii you happen to live in a small place. There is much more fellowship and mutual understanding there, than in a large city and your friends are much more apt to help you. In fact what really good friend can refuse you his cooperation if you explain the situation to him and express your earnest desire to win one of the twenty-five grand prizes? Do not say: “it is very hard to sell life insurance,’1 until you try it. After all, everyone needs it. And don’t forget that in addition to getting new members for the great fraternity, for the Verhovay which is one of the best fraternal insurance associations in this Country, you alsc really do a favor to youi friends and neighbors b) convincing them of the necessity to protect all those dear to them.
