THE BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
In An Interview which II VIII Pay
all Insurers and wOuId-Be In
surers to Read.

Yes, | believe the Bankers Reserve Life
Association will have $780, 900, 900 at risk
upon selected lives i'm the west, by the
close Of 1908" said b. II. Robson, Presi-
dent OF that vigorous end successful life
insurance company.
"YCu see the people OF the west learned
a lesson during the panic which they are
not likely to forget. Practically all our
savings driftcd to the money centers Of
the east during the prosperous years pre-
ceeding 1893.
1--WE were not only large borrowers, pay
ing immense interest charges, but prac-
tically all our insurance investments were
with eastern companies.
"They collected SIS, 600, 900 in premiums
during ten years. This large sum was
made up of the savings of our policy hold
ers. The bulk OF 1t was loaned back to US
at high rates of interest. In other words
we were paying interest on our own money
This constituted a double draft upon
our resources. We first sent our savings
east. We then paid interest on the sam,
money and sent that east. When the
panic came we were called upon not only
to repay the mortgages but the interest
charges as well. We all know what hap
pened.
The organization of great hduciary in
stltutions in our midst became a CONNER
cial necessity. We must have within our
own control the surplus which balances
trade and prevents financial stringency.
I'm these years of great plenty we can
hoard our own savings and when times OF
distress come the simple process OF trans
ferring our money from one pocket to the
other will make a panic less destructive.
The Bankers Reserve Life Association
sends no money to the Atlantic seaboard.
Its surplus remains In this state and hnan-
cial cataclysms cannot put It into money
vaults where no benefits can be enjoyed
from IL.
