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