Policies THAT MAY BE CANCELLED.
Why Life Insurance Companies Issue Only
Such In Europe and Central America.

Why Life Insurance Companies Issue Only
such In Europe and Central America.
The policies written by some OF the leading
life insurance companies OF this country are
incontestable for any cause whatsoever. II q
policy holder commits suicide INN ediately
after paying his first premium. and before the
ink Is dry on his policy. his heirs will receive
the money Just the same. That is because tn Q
companies know that life is the most precious
possession OF every individual and that very
few indeed. will throw it away In order to
benefit an heir.
The "incontestable clause" is found. how
ever. only in the American policies Those Is
sued to Europeans. Central Americans. and
South Americans do not have them. One Of the
chief officials OF q leading company OF said:
All our foreign policies are written subject
to cancelation. 1t is true We discover very
ers. but that Is because their schemes are 80
clever We cannot run them down. The chief
reason for our writing less liberal policies
abroad and in the southern portion OF this
continent is. however. because wars are SO
frequent and SO liable to occur at any moment.
Europe Is ALWAYS on the brink of a great
war. and II we should write ncontestable
policies there we might be ruined any time
In the Central and South American States
revolutions are In progress all the time. II
our policies were not subject to cancellation
continually. Our method Is to write the
policies freely. but cancel them whenever a
revolution occurs In the countries in which
the policy holders reside"
