its policy holders, divers improvements
that were unknown when Life Insurance
was Young Under the old system, a
failure to pay your premium on the nail
when due, meant the death OF the policy.
You might have paid your premiums for
years; let your foot but slip, miss but one
payment, and all was swept away. The
policy died the premiums already paid
were lost, and YOU were where you started.
No. YOU were worse off than when YOU
started; for there was now that handicap
of added years. Your increased age,
should YOU seek to take out fresh insur-
ance. would tell against you in increased
premiums You would now pay more,
while the face of your policy would be
no bigger than before.
This catastrophe, the result of failure
to meet ones premium, was obviated in
those offers of insurance which The
Prudential held forth. If one who had
met his premiums during a certain brief
space of ine-always written in the
policy-should fail in any particular pay
ment, the policy did not die AS primary
step there was a month of grace given
the policy holder. If his premium was
due on the first of July, he had until the
first of August wherein to pay.
Even then default did not put him
out of court. Failing to bring in his
premium by August first, the whole
amount he had already paid in premiums
would be counted up. Then he was
granted a paid-up policy, for a sum the
size OF which grew in proportion to the
whole sum of his former premiums.
The scheme was perfect; it was like
those safety arrangements one sees on the
modern elevator. The rope breaks; but
the car does not go crashing to the far
bottom of the shaft. The mere parting of
the rope gives instant action to the auto
matte brakes: the car is caught and held.
And SO with these safety contrivances of
The Prudential Insurance Co. The rope
might break. the premium might fail
those automatic safety brakes will catch
the policy, midair, and the policy holder
is saved his honest proportion of In
sllrance. This feature of excellence is
incident to all policies written by The
Prudential. Another element-and one
calculated to make easy the sleep of the
policy holder-is that the company
valves all right to contest policy, and
squabble in court against the payment
of loss, once the policy be one year old.
In day long gone in Life Insurance,
when the old and only the old method
prevailed, blunt parsonage, approached
on the subject of taking out a policy, put
the suggestion aside on the grounds, as he
phrased them. of not caring to go into a
game where he had to die to Win"
Something of this gentleman's egotism
and selfshness confess abides in a partial
sense with me. If l don't wholly refuse a
game wherein YOU have to die to win, | at
least prefer those games in which YOU
may both live and win. Being thus con-
stituted, | am frank to say that of those
Insurance proffers made by The Pruden-
tial, that one to most win upon me was
the Guaranteed Five per cent. twenty
wear Endowment Bond.
As illustrating what might be done with

paid five per cent.-more than the usual
safe" investment pays. Also-and this
was the unique advantage-it anticipated
the years, and gave one an investment
capital of ES5,25o at the very threshold
of the transaction.
How can The Prudential pay so much
for so little?-how can it take your
S4o5.;3o a year for twenty years, and
when you are fifty give you an alternative
of $1,000 in hand, or an annuity of $3.50
while you live? Because, in addition to
it being Life Insurance the company buy
ing, as it does, millions of securities at
time, it can get bigger interest for its
money than you-a small investor-can
get for yours. Beyond that-and here is
another great reason-it will issue policies
only to hale people. Every one who asks
for policy doesn't get it. The wouldbe
policy holder must show himself sound in
wind and limb, or the company will re-
fuse him. 1t requires no argument to
show the effect of this in favor of the COM
panv-an effect which finally expresses
itself in those vast advantages whereof
I've told YOU to healthy folk who are
granted policies.
When Senator Dryden laid the bed
plates of The Prudential as its founder,
he had industrial or mass insurance in
his thoughts Until then, in America,
only the well-to-do in this worlds goods
might talk Life Insurance. The wage
earners, that great body of people who
were poor couldn't think of a policy
because they couldn't manage the pre-
MUM. Insurance, in those days, went in
onethousand-dol parcels, and was out
of wage-earner's reach.
Senator Dryden is a practical and
thinking man; he saw that, to best help
man, one had but to help him help him
self. Then it was he resolved upon in
augurating an Industrial Insurance; and
with that the foundation of The Pruden-
tial began.
America has taken many a good thing
out of England besides its Independence
and, among the rest, Industrial Insur-
ance. Senator Dryden, who begins a
study at its source, went to England to
make himself master of the details of
| Industrial Insurance. This was in the
early 7o's; when he had equipped him
| self he returned and formed The Pruden-
tial in 1873.
Industrial Insurance is primarily a
burial insurance, which gives even the
poorest an opportunity to relieve the
| public of burden that does not belong
| to it, and at the same time take his own
| self-respect down with him to his grave
and therefore it should have the widest
public endorsement.
Whatever may be the life beyond, GER
tainly ones entrance into it can in no
wise be injured by making a reputable
exit from this one. Also, on grounds of
sentiment, and for the mere sake of a
name, it is worth the while of any man
to be laid away under conditions of
so1vency and level manhood. He shall
be none the worse, here or hereafter, who
gives no occasion for those he leaves be-
hind to either lie or blush when his funeral
is mentioned Being first of all burial

needs provide for every member of fam
ily-the man and the woman, the child
at school, the grandsire by the hearth.
There are those six or seven black
weeks-weeks empty of plan, void of
direction-which inevitably descend upon
a house with the death of the bread
winner. With Grape on the door!-that
is no time for family to be without a
dollar. Industrial Insurance steps in and
pays the face of the policy-that policy
which five or ten or fifteen weekly cents
provided.
And what should it mean to pay those
five or ten or fifteen cents? The foregoing
of glass of beer A walk of mile on
Saturday afternoon, when one would
have else taken a car! The sum is easily
mastered; and with the peril that lies all
across them like a shadow-the black
peril of dying pauper, with the blacker
peril superadded of leaving wife and chill
dren without least splinter of provision
it is no wonder that nearly every wage
worker, however small his fortune, buck
les himself, his wife and little ones with
this insurance.
There is another admirable plan, which
The Prudential makes, that should have
widest advertisement. The father may
also provide for the child's education.
Under the "Childs Endowment" plan,
by the annual payment of a small sum, the
father secures the child, say at the age of
eighteen, the fiat fortune of one thousand
dollars. An ambitious boy can go a long
journey into his books with that equip
ment of one thousand dollars.
In England when a rich mans son is
born, the rich man begins Laying down."
in the babys bibulous behalf, cellars of
claret or port. These are sacred as the
wine-bins of the son; and young hopeful
may pull the corks at twenty-one.
The Prudential "Child's Endowment"
offers a more reasonable field for the
exercise of paternal love. Instead of
laying down. bin of claret, let the
father lay down the premium asked, and
thereby secure that money needed later
to give the son a finished education.

The old Canteloupe expert of Black

to help his son with the planting of that
tree.
There you have, the story of my con-
version to Life Insurance. 1t protects a
manor the mans family-from those
natural dangers that surround us all. 1t
protects a man from hi.nself-often his
own worst enemy-and teaches him So

this scheme of Insurance l imagined
man whose years were thirty: What
would he give, and what would he get,
under that scheme of Prudential In
suranCeo
Assuming then that under it he takes
out policy for five thousand dollars, the
whole amount of the premiums to be
paid up in twenty years: His premium
yearly, by this arrangement, will be
S4o5.3o But this further fact is to be
considered: While year after year he
pays S4o5. 50, and no more. the face of
the policy increases annually by five
calls for SIS. $50; during the second for
S., 500, and so it grows until at the end
of twenty years when the policy is paid
up and no more premiums are to be called
for, the policy is worth $4,000.
There then is the situati ton: Ny friend of
thirty has paid into The Prudential,
during those years, IS, 100. On his side,
and as against this, he holds the COM
pany's paid-up promise for $4,000.
What can he do with that promise?-
being now in his tiftieth year. He can
cash it at the company Office for $40 900.
Or he may have part cash, and part in
paid-up policy, and there are other
methods. Best of all, he may buy an
annuity for himself; and if he be what
President Roosevelt would call "a square
man. he'll do the latter BY this an
nuity plan, the company would receive
his $4,000; and for it would pay him
1880 every year for 1ife-being seven
and one-half per cent.-even though he
lived to be as old as Old Parr.
The great point never to be forgotten
for it was the first reason of insurance-is
that should he die at any moment during
those twenty years, were it the next day
after the policy was written, his wife and
family would be paid the face of the
policy. 1t would be at the smallest
per cent. of S. 900 for every year the
policy ran. "A.
Suppose my provident friend had put
those annual S4o5.3o into bank at four
per cent interest. 1t would take ten
years before the deposit climbed to
| SIS 900. And yet, at the end of ten years,
that Prudential policy in the event of
death would cali for $500. No saving
could equal it; no investment approach
it. Samuel Smiles was right.
But says one, turning the ifs - and
lands in his thoughts, 'ifhehad put those
| S4o5.3o in bank, he could have drawn
them out at any time, and used them. :"
Read your policy, friend! Given a GER
tain age, three years, think, you, on
your policy, can borrow from the COM
pany big proportion of all you've paid
in as premiums. Or you can surrender
the policy for cash. The whole story of
what YOU can borrow, or what you can
cash" for, is plainly told in the policy;
for l might say in passing that The
Prudential sells no pigs in pokes.
The longer looked at the above insur-
ance the more perfect the scheme seemed
to me. 1t was safer than bank; for there
can be no runs" on The Prudential, to
lock its doors and put it's shutters up. 1t
! was better than other investment; for it
