MANY

a wife has reason to be more fearful than her husband about the future. She may have as much faith in him as he has in himself, yet if he were taken away it is around her that everything would collapse

like a house of cards.

In these enlightened days no man need leave his wife and family exposed to this disastrous possibility. By put ting a portion of his savings into Life Insurance, he can safeguard their future with a definite income that will be

paid month after month for as long as he plans.

No other safeguard for a wife and family can compare with a guaranteed monthly income. It is the one arrange-

ment that leaves no doubt in

the mind, no possibility of loss or delay, no reinvestment or management worries. THE
