WHO CARRIES THE RISK"?
The man who carries no Life Assurance does not, as he thinks, carry his own risk; he compels his family to carry it, When he dies the loss dies not fall on him, but on his depen dents, and the price they often pay is self-denial, privation and want. Nor is the Bachelor in any better position, since he is taking the chance of others providing for his old age,
