DURING the past

most men have

few

years learned some bitter lessons in economics. Speculation is not Thrift. Of all your material possessions, life insurance gives you the least cause for worry, No doubt it is more appre- ciated than ever before because you know it is always worth par.

Now is the time to lay the foundation for your future independence. Buy dollars for delivery at age 55, 60 or later. A Long Term Endowment, which gives you protection as well as saving, is a sure road to independence.
