It used be said of life insurance that you had
to die TO win" but recent years have changed this,
and the newer forms of policies combine investment
with life insurance AS announced in another col

just settled the largest endowment ever paid, it is
said This endowment was the life Of a man
in Toronto, who evidently a believer IN en-
downent insurance, he took out 100000 worth
in various companies His policy for 100000 in the
Equitable at its maturity was worth S5o,S4L This
is a strong argument In favor of the form of in
surance which makes provision for old age as
