Life Insurance Means
in Old Age
The tragedy of old age is not the tragedy of
being old?but the tragedy of being penniless
\Y hen you think of Life Insurance, per
haps you consider only death.
But there always is a probability that a
man will live to be old. so old that ha will
routine.
Then it is, in old age, that Life Insurance
money hurries back to the pockets of the
- man who paid the premiums
And old age money is indeed wonderful
money, for it buys leisure, pleasure, travel
?nd independence. ,
