How You Can Convert
I Your Govt Insurance

In order to meet the objection to
an ordinary life policy, that of having
to make payments as long as you live.
there are issued what are known as
limited payment policies. These poll
cies are only modified forms of the
ordinary life policy. They have ex-
actly the same provisions and are car
ried for virtually the same reason,
that of protection to dependents. The
difference in these policies lies in the
fact that the insured pays premiums
for only a certain period of 20 years;
of 80 years. AT the end of this period
of time, the insured has a paid-up
policy. He makes no more payments
and the policy stands as a protection
to his family in the event of his death
or disability. These two policies are
very popular with men of fair
having dependents, because they al
make payments on their insurance for
a period 20 or 80 years and then they
have the matter of insurance off their
minds. They make their payments
during their productive years when
they are best able TO make these pay
ments
