Brief History of the Junior
Order of United American
Mechanics.
It was organized in Philadelphia,
Pa., on the 5th day ol duly, 1845
Its inception was lor the purpose
of protecting American mechanics
from foreign emigration, and none
but American mechanics were ad
mitted to membership.
On the 7th day of May, 1853,
Reliance Council, No. 40, of U. A
M. organized a council of young
men between the ages of 16 and
21 years, for the purpose of pre
paring them for membership in the
parent order of United American
Mechanics. The civil war almost
obliterated the order; but on the
Sth day of September, 1869, the
National Council Junior Order
United American .Mechanics was
organized. Several years after
wards the order severed its con
nection with the O. U. A. M. and
is now a separate and distinct or
ganization.
There are at present over 1,600
councils in the United States with
a total membershi > of about 15,200.
State councils are in active opera
tion in all the states and territor
ies. A national home lor the care
and education of the orphans of
deceased members, is established
at Tippin, Ohio. This home rep
resents a valuation of over *100,-
ox». At this home we educate
and rear the children of deceased
members of our order and fit them
for a life of usefulness. It has been
in operation only a tew years, yet
190 little ones have found their
way to it. What better cause can
men engage in than educating
orphan children.
An active interest has been tak
en by the order in legislation to
restrict immigration and improve
our public school system. We have
been instrumental in passing laws
in the states of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey, providing that the
children attending the public
schools of thoie states, shall be
furnished with their text books
free of all cost, as a result the at
tendance at the public schools has
increased over 20 per cent in a
short time,
It has been instrumental in pass
ing compulsory education laws in
several states. We recently had
a law passed in Pennsylvania pro
viding that no teacher be allowed
to wear the distinctive garb ol any
religious denomination or organi
zation. Laws providing that the
American (lag must be floated over
the public schools during the ses
sion thereof, have also been adopt
ed in various states through our
instrumentality. We have pre
sented over 3,000 American flags
to the public schools throughout
our land, and aie still actively en
gaged in that work. We are de
termined that our flag shall llo.it
over every public school liou.se in
our country,
It is the largest, the best and
one of the oldest patriotic orders
in America; it has paid #4,716,757
in sick benefits; it has councils in
44 states and territories.
Do you believe in the public
schools? Do you believe in the
restriction ot immigration? Do
you believe in the payment of sick
benefits? Do you believe in the
carrying of life insurance? Do you
believe in education and proper
training of orphans? If so, join the
J. t). I . A. M, 1'he word Junior
in the title has no relation to the
age of members. It was adopted
to distinguish the order from the
O. U. A. M , and has no other
significance. Nor is the word
mechanic to be construed literally.
It refers in no manner to artisans,
but embraces every pursuit- one
language, one law, one citizenship,
one non-sectarian. The | O. D
A. M is the largest patriotic order
in America.
For some unaccountable reason,
the objects and principles of the
order are misunderstood by a great
number of our best citizens This
being the case, ours must be a cam
paign of education. W'e must en
lighten every intelligent citizen in
our fair land as to just what our
principles oie and 10 what extent
we are endeavoring to carry them
out. No true, loyal American,
irrespective of surroundings or be who is not willing to pledge alle-

and trust that the time will never

our flag to be powerful enough to
shield and protect them as well as

religious liberty. We afbrm our
devotion to the American public
school system and to compulsory

that our schools should be con
ducted in the English language; to
the end that future generations
may be able to take their place as

Generations past and generations
to come, hold us responsible for
this sacred tilist.
There are thousands of good,

State under whatsoever guise.
We recognize the Bible as the
foundation of both moral and civil
law, and believe that it should be
read in our public schools—not to
teach sectarianism, but. moral ex
cellence. We should place a flag
upon and a Bible within every pub
lie school house within our land,
that all might learn these to be a
beacon light in every storm which
may threaten our destruction.
In all the foregoing we ask the
cordial and hearty co-operation of
High Class Druggists
AND - OTHERS.
The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity,
who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and
purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians’ prescriptions and
scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but
always under original or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines.
They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes
all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and
best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances.
The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits
conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest
reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of
Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they
are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest
remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full
name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and
of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or
over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as
Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction.
Owing to tho excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the
immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are
individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles
of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate
to recommend and try to sell tho imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations
sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern,
or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, blit they never have the full name of
the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations
should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations
they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes
off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which
does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package,
he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his
establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and
and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of
physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness.
Knowing that tho great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand
for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every
where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions
exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return
any imitation which may Vie sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—
California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the
article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of
druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of every tiling in his line at reasonable prices.
