not insult the intelligence of any member

him or her to vote on Tuesday, Nov 4,

Endowment At IS

. Let us say that this ap-
plicant is interested in an
Endowment at Age IS Certifi-
cate.
The monthly dues for
81, 900 insurance are $1.74; or
$20.88 annually. If he should
live to be IS, in which case
he would pay dues for 60
years, this applicant would
pay 81, ,252.80.
AS the Dividends stand
now, he would get - during
that period - $258.1O back in
Dividends. So the insurance
would actually cost hi m
$994.7O.
After he has reached IS he
can take out 81, 900 in cash
and cease to be a member.
Or he can take out $112.52 in
cash and remain insured un-
til death for 1000.
Or he can take a paid-up
certificate for 81, ,127.
So, actually, if this member
lives to be IS, and if he were
to choose Option No. 1, TAX
ing out $112.52 in cash and
receiving Dividends in the
amount Of $258.10, he would
really pay to the Society the
sum Of $882.18 for 81, 900 in
surance.
But let us bear in mind that
if he should die the next day,
his beneficiaries would get
81, 900. I

Endowment At 65

. Using the same hypothe-
tical case, the applicant at age
rs, let us now recommend to
him the Society's Endowment
at Age IS Certificate, it's next
most reasonable investment
on a monthly basis.
The members m o n thly
rates for 81, 900 are $2.32; or
$27.A annually. The member
would pay for 40 years, fol-
lowing which the certificate
The Cup. III
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1958-10-29
Single Premium Basis

. Now let us suppose that
this applicant would rather
take this same Endowment
at Age IS Certificate on a Sin
gle Premium basis.
In that case he would pay
at once the sum of $413.13.
He would also get SO Divi-
dends at $500 per year,
which would come to $177.OO
lin all.
And should he choose Or
ton No. 1 and collect $112.52
in cash, he would get back -
including Dividends-the sum
of $289.52. Thus the insur-
ance would cost him only
$123.61 and he would remain
insured for 1000, which the
beneficiaries are entitled to at
the time of his passing.
Certainly the reader can.
not help but realize that it is
indeed a great saving to pur-
chase insurance on the CFU
Single Premium Plan.

. With the same applicant
still in mind, let us further as
sumo that he is interested in
taking out $1,000 insurance
on the Single Premium Plan.
For the first $1,000 of in
surance he would pay $413.13,

the sum of $1,675.93. If he
lives to be IS, he would get
SO Dividends at, $500 per

Dividends.
Should he choose Option
No. 1, he would get cash in
the amount of $562.60. But he
would actually get back

would cost him $228.33. And
upon his death his beneficial
ries would collect $1,000.
Naturally, if he lives to be
85 and chooses no Options,
he would get back $4,000.
Well worth remembering.
