TOntIne-What is it?

If you KNOW, that's all right. But
if you only THINK you know, then ask
Newman about it. He sells tontines 5,
and he will apply the tontine feature
TO any kind OF policy you want.
Some people like tOntlLe policies: some
dou't. Suit yourself. J. don't cost a
cent to add the tontine feature. You
pay your money and you take your
chOice-tonJine or nOn-tontine, the
premium is the same.
No use dealing with novices or pa
tronizing second-rate companies while
Newman is here representing the old
est and best. O5her companies may be
GOOD: everybody knows the Mutual
Life is the BEST. 1t costs just the
same 10 Insure IN TIE Mutual Life as
in other companies, as all charge the
same rate. Then why not choose THE
BEST? Think OF it.
