It to very seldom that a razor

bleeding that badly, it would
be prudent to have a physician
look at it. However, appUca-:

Many of the 50 million Americans who are covered by private pension plans
think they'll automatically qualify for benefits when they reach retirement
age.
They're wrong I
Every plan has requirements that must be met under the Employee Retire
ment Income Security Act. And the time to find out about those require
ments is now even if retirement Is 30 years down the road".
There's a lot more to think about too. Does your plan permit early retirement?
How much will your plan pay you? Will you receive a monthly payment or
a lump sum? .
The U.S, Department of Ubor has a free booklet that will help you answer
these questions and a lot more. Send for.lt today. .
