To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Nanticoke, there were 35, or one to 340 inhabitants. It is so throughout our mining communities. Organizations of all kinds for both male and female are found, which involve annually business transactions amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the business is virtually managed by the workingmen themselves. There are many fraternal orders in our towns for purely social purposes, but these are supported by the business and professional classes. Orders which are supported by our wor...k- ing classes are distinctly for purposes of insurance against sick- ness and death. Men who earn their daily bread by arduous toil have no money to spend in orders of a purely social char- acter. They fear economic loss through sickness and are anxious to provide some means against it. They are solicitous for a decent burial and regularly meet their dues that the funeral benefits may be paid. Beyond these two contingencies, the average workingman does not concern himself. An insur- ance man of wide experience in our communities said that 75 per cent, of the working classes carries some kind of insurance, of which 25 per cent, carries policies against sickness, and 50 per cent, carries policies of from $100 to $300 against death.
