TILL Death Us Part For Better or
Worse-Which?

the publicity of a great insurance com
pany. The "'Which9" with the ques-
tion point after it was the part that
he was paid for. The men who operate
the insurance company and pay divid-
ends to it's thousands Of policy holders
Just naturally thought that the little
"Which" at the end of the couplet was
worth the money. And when you come
to think Of it the whole thing is crowded
full Of suggestion for. the man who
really cares something for the woman
he marries The insurance agent may
be considered by lot Of fellows as
pest but he is the right kind of a pest.
Look on him as a friend. Tt may be
that you think that he should be put
i'm the same class as the undertaken and
the man who sells burial clothes but
you may also think Of him as one of the
really important persons in the COM
munity. More than any one else the
Insurance agent is emphasizing to men
the duty that they owe to other people.
Time was when lot Of big men did not
believe in insuring their lives against
death. A lot of them still feel the
same way but the most of these men
are fellows just naturally selfish. They
figure that they are going to live out
their hfe-that they are going to take
full enjoyment out Of it and then
Just naturally slip away some time when
they are least expecting il and leave
man who accepts the responsibilities of
being the father of children, or of being
% husband to a woman owes her and
them something. He owes them sup
port during his life and if it is possible
he owes it to them to provide for their
comfort after he is gone. A fellow
Just naturally feels big lump in his
throat when he looks into the nursery
and sees his own wife gently caressing
his own baby and softly grooming a
lullaby. There is a joy of possessing
The real things in life. He feels that
ell of it is part Of his life. He nat
nrally feels that it is all for the better
but a lot of times he fails to think of
what might happen.
We don t care to dwell on the hor-
ribleness of death and get long-faced
whenever we talk of dying but as real
men of business insight we do look for
ward to a time when like, a lot of
the rest we will be carried out and put
away in Fthe family plot.'' Just at
this time the duty we may owe the others
comes up life insurance costs money.
So does anything else that is worth
while. Life insurance does not cost any
more money than a lot of other things.
There are q mighty few men who do
not insure their houses against fire.
They just naturally think that they
must do it. 1t would appear to a real
prudent man that insurance Of family
against want is just as important. In
surance is no longer gamble. Time
was when man paid in his money and
took his chances. Now when he pays
in his money he knows that it is pro-
tected under national and state laws
which makes him secure.
Most men declare that they haven It
money enough to buy life insurance.
They really mean that they haven t
money enough to buy as much insurance
as they would like to buy. The same
man who asked that question ''Which "
also wrote this, Insurance for your
wife is sympathy for your widow"
Friends are mighty good thing to have
around when man dies. The kindly
hand clasp of friend goes long way
toward removing the sting of death but
the kindly hand clasp does not keep the
babies in shoes. It does not pay the
mortgage on the home or assure to the
one you love the best some of the COM
forts of life which you would have
given her if you had not been called
away.
A little when q man is dead means a
lot 1t may be that the amount that
you can spend for insurance is only
enough to leave a fewhundred dollars but
that few hundred dollars will mean
much to those who hold you dear.
You need not invest hundreds Of dol
lars annually in insurance policies. Take
O modest start It may be that the
saving of money to meet the premiums
win open a new idea to you of the
value of money and you viii find that
you can save money better by buying
insurance than any other way. You
cap join the fraternals if you think that
this is the best way. They offer bet
ter protection now than ever before
while the protection may not be as
lit edged" as one offered by the old
ne companies it is worth while.
Insurance is now on higher plane,
There is insurance against death and
insurance against the day when sill rer
threads are found among the gold. It's
one of the approved ways of spending
money and saving money. It also Of
fsrs that right kind Of, gamble which
should appeal to.'' is sporty
