THEORIES TESTED BY THE PANIC PROVED
TO BE TRUE:
!. During the last three months business men
have been compelled to give all their time aud en-
crgy to save their business from ruin.
2. This proves that the value Of money invested
In commercial pursuits Is to great degree conin-
gent upon the life of Its posseSsor. Your estate, as
whole. deprived OF your management must shrink
In value from the moment of your death.
8. Since, therefore, your business and all your III
yestmcnts will be of less value you are
dead than to-day while You are living, Il Is evident
that your life should be fully insured The hardness
of the times instead OF furnishing excuse for de-
lay should add weight to the arguments In favor OF
Immediate Insurance. for If IL Is hard for yom to
pay premium NOW, how much harder would 1t
DC for your family 10 support themselves In these
times If you were dead!
s. Discharge at once this duty which you kn0E
YOU owe to your family. The feeling that your fat
fly il provided for, matter what may huppen ,
Will afford YOU comfort which an equal amount of
money laid out III any other way could not pur-
chase.
THIS question claims your consideration NOW.
Weigh 1t carefully. and decide before the close Of
the YEAR what action You will take. Before insuring,
examine the EQ U1TABLE'S TONTINE SAVINGS
FUND POLICY, which offers advantages secured
by no other plan of insurance.
