, think there would possibly be m u: '

0E5 your estate amount to ten times your income? ,

If so you have made unusually good pr

vision for the future. You have assured yourself and family of an income equal to one-half your present earnings. ~

Suppose, for example, that you‘ earn $5,000 a year . . . and your estate is ten times that, or $30,000. This total at ﬁve per cent. interest will yield $1,500 a year. ‘ Suﬂicient, perhaps, to make it possible for you to live independently

in your old age. Sufficient,

too, to enable your wife and

family to "carry on" if they are left alone.

, If your estate does not measure up to this

standard, the simplest and quickest way of bringing it up to requirements is through Life Insurance. Millions of people have Built estates "on the install- ment plan” with theaid of Life Insur- ance. 'And in so doing they have safeguarded the future for themselves and those whom they hold most dear.

Ask your Life Insurance, Representative ' to. explain to you the many’ advantages of an estate

founded on Life Insurance.
