I absolutely prevent physical suffering. I keep mental anguish out of the family circle. I am the key to the greatest Brother to Brother movement. I am the best investment on the market. I pay the largest dividends of any investment. I am a joy to the Company, the worker and the physician. I am the most easily secured commodity in the world. I am SAFETY FIRST. —W. Steel Bryan.
