PAY IN ADVANCE
FOR YOUR BURIAL
Chicago Company Will In
sure You a Funeral.
NEED NOT PAY IF YOU DIE
GruesOme Element of Chance in Con-
tract-One Man Saves S7A
Out of SIS.

CHICAGO, H., March S.-Funeral con-
tracts are a new idea which a Chicago
company is setting before the public.
1t contracts to bury persons and the
funeral expenses are paid on the install
ment plant 1t has six different CON
tracts. ranging from $50 to $500
The method Of doing business Is the
same as any installment house; that is,
one makes a small payment at the time
the contract is entered into and then
pays so much a month, 81 to Sc. accord
ing to the price of the funeral desired.
For instance. if one desires a $50 fun
eral he pays 81 down and 81 a month for
forty eight consecutive months. At the
time CT the funeral the last payment is
paid. While the monthly installments
are being paid, if the holder of the CON
tract dies. he and his friends are re
leased from further payment. So if a
man should make contract today for
a $50 or even a $500 funeral, and should
die tomorrow the company is bound by
the terms 20 bury him, although he had
paid only one installment. A contract
may cover as many as five persons
whose names are written I'm it. Should
any one of the five pass into the beyond
at any time after the first payment is
made all further payments cease
The company's contract covers all
ages from two to siXty-five years. A
contract was recently made for a 81
funeral with a man who said he had
never been i'll a day in his life. Forty
eight hours after the contract was en-
tered into he died of pneumonia.
