tical working is shown by this illustration: If

endowment policy, and tails to pay the fourth pre-
mium the policy by virtue of this law and entirely
independent of any action violation of the COM
pany, will continur in force five yeasx and 342 days

cy and number of premiums paid, but fixed by
law for each and every case.

AL is BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALMOST
WHOLLY COMPOSED OF WELL-KNOWN AND
PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE.

and efficient conduct of its affairs. The value of
your insurance depends entirely upon the certain
ty that company will carry out its contracts fairly
reasonably and prompty and, in this respect, your
personal knowledge of the character and standing
