Thot gives you on idea Of whot the
American people think Of the life in

insurance policy as something to be
kept at all costs. They won't impair
its value by borrowing, or abandon it
for its Gosh value until dire necessity
makes thot absolutely unavoidable.
And on top Of that, they steadily in
creose their ownership of life insurance

permit.

it shows our desire for earned social
