an Impregnable Wall

HE world has wit, nessed some" aad economic experiences in recent years. Financial safeguards which were thought strong and trust. worthy have proven weak and flimsy.

You owe it to your de- pendents to build a sub- stantial reserve against adversity; to protect them against future financial" hazard. Millions of people live serenely behind the

security that life insur ance offers, that impreg- nable wall of defence. against economic disaster."

You can create, at age 30, a ten thousand dollar

estate, under our Guaran- teed Maximum Protec- tion Policy, for $220.00 yearly. In lieu of a lump sum payment, the pro- ceeds will be paid in regu- lar monthly instalments, if desired.
