Security

“  Retirement annuities
that grow out of group
life insurance & hospital
plans & sick benefits, spon-
sored by the modern big
  company, are only an
  attempt to cut out turn-
  over of employees –
  imagine devoting yr. entire
  life, its soul & meaning
to a pineapple company
& accepting its retirement
annuities for reward –
  “Stay with the Machine,
  boys, dont need to run
  away or shift to other
  cogs, you’re just as well
  off in this one – we offer
  YOU SECURITY TILL THE
  GRAVE.”
