There are lots OF selfish persons who say:
"Well, what's the use of me getting insured?
After I'm dead the money derived cannot be
of any more use to me. Therefore, please tell
me why l should expend any Of these hard
earned dollars for the sake OF leaving a bone
OF contention to be fought over by my rela
tives"
Partly for the man who is likely to make
that statement and partly for the individual
who would provide himself against the infrmi
ties of old age great insurance companies
have devised policies whereby the party in
sured may come into his endowment when II
is most needed
The endowment policy Is the one which 10
perhaps more popular among young men OF the
age than any which has yet been put upon the
market. This allows the payment Of a yearly
premium into the company's Golfers and at the
end OF 10. 20. 30, 40 or 80 years the entire
amount for which the policy holder was In
sured is turned over TO him or her. The rate
of insurance varies with the length OF time
The longer the period between the payment Of
the first premium and the final endowment the
less the rate. other things being equal.
Just recently insurance companies intro
duced another sort OF proposition which ia
juat the reverse Of that OF insuring ones life.
