THE NEGLECT OF LIFE ASSURANCE.

יד

HERE is no feature of our civilised life that strikes a thoughtful man with more force than the neglect of LIFE ASSURANCE. By payment of a sinal quarterly, subscription any man of good health can secure a very large sum to his family in case of premature death, yet hundreds of families brought up in confort- perhaps in luxury are left in extreme poverty every year from the bread winner having neglected to assure his life. In the East many a man lives up to his income, knowing well that if death. cut him off suddenly, his wife and

for.

children would be left almost wholly unprovided All this can be prevented by Life Assurance.

EVERY FACILITY

In connection with Life Assurance Business is afforded by

THE STANDARD LIFE, OFFICE,
