Man's age-old dream of har- nessing the elements to prevent killing droughts and devastating floods apparently must await the discovery of forces mora powerful even than the atom.

Gentlemen Adventurers

WITHIN a few years of its founding in 1887 the Manu- facturers Life expanded into foreign fields. The repre- sentatives who pioneered this development were truly "Gentlemen. Adventurers"-their search for new avenues of business was an advance into the unknown.

From the nation's viewpoint this expansion was an important step in the development of export trade which at that time was confined to natural products. The sale of Life. Insurance abroad is an export of services paid for by the premium payments of foreign policyholders.

In many areas of the world Canadian life Insurance com- panies laid the foundations for our foreign trade and established Canada's reputation for stability and fair dealing. Even to-day there are places whore Canada is known principally for its Life Insurance companies...

The Manufacturers Life is proud of the part it has played in this development,-proud, too, of its world-wide reputation for financial strength and the best of Life Insurance service.
