Insurance From Economic Standpoint.
joseph Chapman, vice president OF
the Northwestern National Bank OF
Minneapolis, writes:
America has been known as
spendthrift nation.
MANY who have tried 10 be thrifty,
have been swindled out Of their hard
earned money by get rlch-quiCk pro-
motors with worthless stocks a d
schemes.
KS a result: "Eighty-two Of every
hundred who die leave no income pro-
ducing estate and out of every 100 wi
dows. only eighteen are in comfortable
circumstances: forty seven are obliged
to go TO work: thrty-f five are left in
absolute want and must depend on
, charity TO live.
"A change takes place. As the war
progressed our people found they could
DO without many things they had con-
sidered essential to their comfort. Our
standards are changed. Each succeed

But we have only scratched the sur
face toward what can be accomplished

| THE most potent factors for encou--
aging thrift are the government. the
insurance companies, the banks and the
home building and loan associations.
After the way. the government will
cease to be the principal member OF the
thrift family. and insurance again will
