Life Insurance is
the flower of
love surviving ihe
frost of death.
FOUR WEIGHTY REASONS FOR LIFE
INSURANCE.
FIRST Statistics tell us that only two men in one
hundred succeed in business.
SECOND That only one man in thirty has suffi
cient for old age.
THIRD That in the settlement of valuable estates
scarcely one per cent reaches or maintains the
valuation of the Testator.
FOURTH That the number of contested wills is
very large.
IF YOU could pay the cost of a life policy and neg
lected to do" so, it's a mean thing for you to go up
to Heaven, while your family go to the poor
house. You, at death, move into a mansion, riv
er front, and they move into two rooms cn the
fourth story back of a tenement house. When
they are out at the elbows and knees, the
thought of your splendid robe in Heaven will
not keep them warm. The minister may preach
a splendid sermon over your remains and the
quartette may sing like four angels in the organ
loft, but your death will be a swindle.
