So the story might be carried on
indefinitely, but enough has been
said perhaps, to give you little pic
turs of the multitude Of activities
which are being made possible
through the wise investment of your
insurance savings. Your insurance
dollar is not a proud aristocrat, Snob-
biShly living an idle life, Ratehr it
is a worker in overalls, helping to
build and maintain the most vital in
stitutionS Of modern life.
1t is paid for its work in interest
or dividends, of course, as is perfect
liz proper and right. And the interest
t dollars and dividend dollars are put
/ to work in their turn-a constantly
i increasing army of dollar workers
adding to the security behind youI
insurance policy and reducing it
cost to YOU.
/ So if YOU would look for your in
Isurance dollar-look about you.
