A bulletin issued by the Veterans
Bureau emphasized the Importance
of converting the policies immediate

The bulletin explains that there

are: Ordinary life, Twenty Pay Life
Thirty Pay Life, Twenty Year En-
dowment, Thirty Year Endowment,
Endowment at age of So, and Five
Year Convertible Term. All Red

various types, and to assist veter-
