Are Her

Shoulders?

WOULD you willingly place too heavy a burden on your wife's shoulders? Care of the family and management of the home are tasks that are naturally here as a partner. Yot if she were suddenly left without you, burdens that are heavy when shared by both would be hers alone. How could sho face them without an income?

7

There is a way to make sure that she would not have the added, crushing responsibility of earning money to provide the family with food, clothing and shelter. It is to put an much of your income as you can into Life Insurance and to increase the amount as your circumstances permit.

Life Insurance can be arranged to provide a non- cancellable monthly income that will never be un- certain-that fluctuating values or market upheavals can never reduce. Thus your heaviest burden will not fall on shoulders ill-fitted to carry the load.
