HOW TO INVEST INSURANCE?

HOW TO INVEST INSURANCE!
A well known life insurance company has made an
investigation of all its death losses Of $4,000 or above
finding the result that after years fully 80 per
cent Of the benefcares have either lost spent the
entire amount received.
Think Of that! Do you realize what those figures
say to you?
They tell you that the money that has been re-.
ceived from life insurance has not been invested in
way that gave the beneficiary the benefits that the par
y who provided that insurance expected those who re-
ceived it to get from it.
You men who are carrying life insurance policies
not SIMPLY by that means, providing for those who
dependent upon YOU You have gotten part OF the
way, but not far enough
Take it right home to yourselves Think about
this Suppose some would leave you $4,000 tomor-
row. how would you invest it that it would produce
for you regular income? What would you do with 1t
50 you could still have the principal and get the inter-
est? Do you know where you could loan it and nave 1t
safe and still make it produce enough that it would
net you 6 per cent?
Follow this line of thought little farther Have
you told your wife children whoever is dependent
upon you, how to handle the money they would get
from insurance in case of your death? We ask again.
have you talked this over with them and gave them
instructions how to get the most good out of this life
insurance how to carry out the intent Of life insur
ance the real purpose for which life insurance
originated?
Have you done that, or are you just going from
day to day along the lines of the least resistance and
telling yourself that you have provided for your family
by nsuring your life for few thousand dollars? The
ordinary woman doesn't know any more about invest
ing three five ten thousand dollars that she might
suddenly fall heir to-, than the ordinary does The
records Of the insurance companies stated above
show that only person out of ten has been able to
hold for seven years to any part OF the money re-
ceived as benefciaries Of life insurance policy.
That shows the necessity of form Of life insur
ance policy that will provide annual payments for
period Of years Either that must be done the pee
pie who receive life insurance money must be taught
how to hold to II.
Three thousand dollars invested at $50 will pay the
owner Of the money monthly income Of SIS Three
thousand dollars placed in the hands Of some
acquainted with business methods can be dribbed
away in a few months
We call attention to this matter because Of it's
great Importance to people who carrying life
insurance who expect to carry it. It shows that they
may make payments for years and years in order to
provide for their family and still not consider any plan
Of investment for the money to prevent it's being
wasted after having been received.
Life insurance, when the deserving beneficiary
is one Of the greatest blessings that has eyer been
planned by the brain Of Yet these records show
that the money received by the beneficiary is not be-
ing handled in a way to do the most good
