SUPPOSE there came a

message to you tonight -from your father-say ing, "Son, I am poor and old and helpless. It will cost 50 cents a day to care for me. Will you do it?” Would your answer be, “I can't afford it?"

Some day, if you live, you will have an old man to support-YOURSELF,

It will cost less than 50. cents a day now to provide for him.

Is your answer still, "I can't afford it?”

Let a Manufacturers Life policy provide for the old man you will be some day.
