Ono of the logical developments of
life Insurance Is the popularity of In
surance on two lives.
This form of Insurance appeals to
the common sense of partners in busi

the policy is payable to the survivor
in case of the death of either of the
insured, unless otherwise stated In
the application.
These policies are written by the
Pnn-Amerlcan Life Insurance Co., on
the whole life, and twenty payment
and twenty year endowment plan.
The benefits and privileges are fur
nished for lowest cost consistent with
safety.
All the figures are guaranteed. A
clean jcut policy which any intelligent
man can read and thoroughly under
stand. The Pan-American issues all forms

dared that If the draft had called out
