CLOTH BUYING SMALL

NEW YORK, Dec. Is G.NSO.
Buying was on a generally small
scale in the coarse yarn cloths
market today, prices generally
being held to previous levels.
There was a noticeable let-up in
the tendency to bid down the
market which had been so pro-
nounced in the closing days of
last week. There were sales of
print cloths for spot and nearby
deliveries at market prices in fair
quantity early in the day, appar-
emily in continuance Of the buy
ing furry which began last Sat
urday. There were few sales in
sheetings, while broadcloths were
more or less inactive. Osnaburgs
continued to sell aa prices which
have prevailed for several weeks.

LOOMS BOOSTS
! INSURANCE AS
XMAS GIFT
Describes Policy Providing
Annual Present for Life
to Beneficiary
BY FRANK F. LOOMS

Someone has aptly said:
mo values exist in anything
or anywhere except and until
they find expression in terms Of
human Hfe."
At no time during the IL
months of the year does thls
thought come closer to our hearts
than at Christmas time.
The ties of relationship are
drawn Just a little closer at the
holiday season when loved ones
gather to rejoice and renew bond
at the fire side. 1t is family
day.
Policies for Presents
Men, busy with the quest Of
financial success during the year,
pause as this holiday approaches
with thoughts of their family,
their needs and protection. Think
ing of these human life values"
their thoughts often turn to life
insurance, and many men at this
time buy additional policies to
add to the bulwark against the
uncertainty of the next years
great adventure. when death or
disability may come unannounced. !.
Parents always give their chill
dren a Christmas present each
year, and expect to do so as long
as they live. Why not fix it now
so the children will receive a
Christmas present from you rs
long as they live?
Easily Accomplished
Most fathers and mothers would
like to have the full joys of Yule
tide guaranteed to their loved
ones even after they. themselves.
had passed away. This can be
accomplished by life insurance.
A policy may be taken out for
each child which will pay them
$50, 500, or more in cash every
Christmas as long as they may
live. "a guaranteed Christmas
present each year for life.
This plan may be carried out
by applying for a policy on the
ordinary life, limited payment
or endowment life income form
providing a Christmas present Of
$50. 500 or more each Christmas
to the beneficiary for life.
A guaranteed Christmas pres.
ent to parents may also be ar
ranged by life insurance.
Annuity SurvivOrship
A Survivorship annuity contract
would be particularly appropriate
where a young man or woman
wishes to provide an annual
Christmas gift for his or her
father or mother in the event
that the parent should survive the
insured.
In fact, a Christmas present
policy is appropriate for any
member of the family, mother,
father, sister or brother, as well
as sons and daughters.
