sible safeguards against loss from inability to
continue payments. for long terms as frequent
ly occurs in many other forms of insurance.

receive the Cash Instalment of onehalf the sum
insured, and have the option OF continuing the
policy for the full amount without increase of

This plan obvates any danger to the insured
OF loss from forfeiture. and at the same time
presents the opportunity for reliable and prof.
table investment of such sums as may be deem
ed desirable, without expense or risk to the ind-
vidual.
The wisdom Of laying by money, for possible
contingencies, to be realized at stated periods, Is
obvious, and the fact that methods are daily
sought that will enable the public TO do this, is
sufficient evidence of necessity for the install
ment Policy.
