QB A. Still Holds
It s Own
Tlie H. B. A. amon our people is ;i
great organization It takes the Gen r
al, Officers, Presidents and members
to make it a good organization. It is
an organization that, through all this
depression, has steed the test. It is an
organization that, during these depress
ed timi s, has cut the assment from
$1 40 to $1.00 and is still retaining the
folks. In the September Boards we
paid 40 claimants, in December we
paid 31 and when the boards opened we
had a clean slate. We did not have one
member left over. What other organ
nation among our people is doing ro
well?
The H. B. A. is run by poor people.
They are people who have to raise
their claims in pennies, nickels and
dimes.
WHAT IT PAYS
Some are asking what does the H. B.
A. Pay?
I We pay more in proportion to what
is put in, by the members than any
or ar.ization of any kind in the State
; of Mi ssissippi. Five Dollars and Twen
ty Cents was sen to the Head-Quart
ers last year by each member who paid
I all of his claims. Members who died
I received a $75.00 casket and by the way
. may I say that our $75.00 casket will
! sell for from $75 00 c $123 00 by the
Undertakers. And may I add that
wh:le some certain Negro Undertakers
are trying to knock the H. B. A. and
■ our caskets the folks are coming home
| and using their own caskets and, may
I add further that some of these Un
dertakers will grin inour faces and stab
us in die back, doing their best to kill
the H B. A. And may I add that every
t:me you give it a blow it gets bigger
ai(d bigger: there is too large a number
of us tryin • to push the H. B. A., for
you to kill it. Brother Si and So you
may as w. 11 hush, the folks are felling
us all you say. Of course we don’t say
anything to you, you think you got us
doled and we are trying to keep you
thinking that. We don’t tell you what
the folks say you are trying o do for
us but don’t you think we don't know
t. Wc are no; interfering with you be
cause you are making us grow. Wc
know that out of all the H B. As. you
h;:vr buried that you have no use the
H. B. A. Casvvet, that you tri d to show
jus as cheap as they get it from the
H. B. A. And we know again that af
ter you have buried the members and
we pay off, the folks, come to us and
say you fcoled them. Yes you can
fool all the folks some of the time, but
you can not fcol all of the folks all the
time.
But I s'anted out to say what we are
pay ng. We have not only furnished
this beautiful casket, but we have
paid from $70 00 to $135.00 in money to
| the relative of the deceased during the
j year.
WHAT IS IT WORTH
Do you know that $50 00 now will
cover more ground, will buy mere
land, meat, su 'ar, cows, lots, coffee,
shoes and dresses them $100.00 would a
few rnrnths ago. In other words $50.06
two years ago is a great tig $100 06
now. There was a time when a large
number of us could go to the banks and
borrow by the Hundreds and Thou
sands of dollars, but you can hardly
get it by the Fives now. Hey! Tibs is
the H. B. A. talking. How do you like
it. You can buy a cow now for $4.06
and $5.00: they use to lie $50 00 $6000
and up.
II B A. SPECIAL NOTICE
Dear Presidents:
I write this for the benefit of all
members of the H. B. A. I think I have
written it two or three times through
the Echo.
The 25c assessment is fer taxes, in
surance and notes on our building.
Some of you are asking for the total
membership, etc. At present we have
had 4,500 members o pay up in the last
beards Now brethern please don's write
to the offices stating that you have one
or two members who can not pay it.
If we fail to pay our taxes, and Insur
ance it means trouble. Therefore we
must collect 25c from everyy person
who stays in the H. B. A. We are goinj
to pay our taxes, insurance, and keep
up our notes. I just well to make it
, clear and let you understand that if
' you fail to pay ycur 25c you arc out.
•You must do one thing or the other,
( you must pay or you must get out.
E. F. Yeung President

.This beautiful casket is being usee

, have had 12 deaths since the close of
the December Boards and 10 of these
! deceased members were buried in the
II. B. A. Casket. * Our members are
J now realizing that they save from $35.
i 00 to $40.00 by using their own casket.
They realize now that they can not buy
1, caskets from other firms that will com
Ipare favorably with the H. B. A. Cas

ket for the same money. Presidents
• > and members were told and are being
told by some people that they can fur
nish caskets of the same kind of ma
terial at the same price that they pay
for this special. All we have to say is
this, time will eventually prove as to
whether this can be done.
Buy your casket from who ever you
will but if you want to save money use
your own II. B. A. Casket.
