taking IN the firm for the past few

BUSINESS men, attention.

Would you invest part of your
money each year in a business,
under a contract not to take out
any of your profits until the end of
20 years, and to forfeit all your
profits if you died prior to that
time?
We think not.
That is exactly what you do
however when you take policy
of life insurance ON the 20 year ac-
cummulation or 20 year distribu-
ton plan, as issued by most of the
companies.
Why not apply the same bust
ness principles to your insurance
and take an annual dividend policy
in the UNION CENTRAL LIFE
which is paying better dividends
here in Americas right now, than
any other company? There are no
better contracts issued.
