Woodmen of the World
The Woodmen of the World, also
called the "Wonder of tho (fraternal)
World," has made a record in pro
gress in all of its departments which
challenges the admiration of all
students of the great fraternal bene-,
fioiary order movement, ' t ' I i,
It was founded on the 8th of Jnne,
1890, in the Paton hotel, in the city
of Omaha, Neb., and is therefore
twelve years of age. At the date of
its organization ( there were 163
societies of its class operating in the
United States. In other words there
were 153 fraternal, death benefit pay
lug orders which were LARGER than
the newly formed W. O. W. Today
there are but three such orders larger
than this remarkable yonng western
giant and at the present ration of
progress it is apparent that it will
take second place within another
twelve months. v ,
It is. a beneficiary order on good
strong business principles which is
attested by the payment of over 113,
000,000 in death, benefits to relatives
of deceased members and the holding
of over $1,000,000 in reserves safely
invested in government bonds, as a
guarantee of the fulfillment of futne
obligations.
It is a successful order. With three
hundred thousand members in the va
rious branches of Perfected Woodcraft,
it is three times larger than the next
most successful order in in the world's
history at the same age.
