WHY HID INSURED

An Old POIicy-hOldeT Tells
His Reasons for Carrying
Life Insurance

AS you ask my views regarding life
insurance from the standpoint Of a
policy holder, submit the following.
am Go years Of age. At the age Of 27
I took my first policy. and now have
nine policies upon my life. have,
consequently. been paying premiums
for Jhirty-eight years. ! have not
computed the cost of my insurance,
with compound interest added, for sew
eral reasons.
l not only undertook to pay pre-
miums when ! began to insure, but
subsequently I undertook to pay for a
home, which has been paid for some
years. My family has had the protec-
tion that life insurance gives, and the
benefit of a home through many years,
and Z see no greater reason for adding
interest to what ] have paid for their
protection than for adding interest to
what I have paid for their shelter.
Besides, ! realized at the outset that
insurance was an arrangement be-
tween men to bear one anothers bur
dens, or rather tho burdens that would
fall upon their families by reason Of
the death Of any of those thus asso-
ciated for mutual protection. My
hope was that I would be one of those
who would continue longest toward
the support of the families of my asso-
ciates This hope has been realized.
Ny family has had the benefit Of my
earnings instead Of share Of the fund,
and ] am glad of it. and hope that the
members OF my family are also glad
It has been more agreeable to me to
have a portion OF my premiums used
toward the support of the families OF
others than to have their premiums
used toward the support Of mine A
portion OF their premiums would, how
ever have heen used for the benefit Of
my fenily had my death, at any time
during these thirty-eight years. de-

family hes b--n thus protected. / do

I do not compute interest upon the
premiums ! have paid for another rca-
son. because Of the belief that much OF
the money used might not have been

vested money not used In paying pre-
miums in other ways-some In gold

in railroad shares in roads that have
passed into the hands OF bondholders.
and some in other things that have

But you may ask what I now have
