However well convinced one
may be of the value of insurance
protection, however firm he may
be in the belief that every man
with one or more dependents up
on him should carry all the pro
tection possible, he is faced with
the fact that tnere is a limit be
yond which he cannot go; there is
a maximum amount that can be
appropriated out of his annual in
come to pay premiums. With
the man of modern income this
maximum is far below the sum he
would like to carry.
It is essential therefore that he
should obtain the largest returns
for the outlay commensurate
with security. However attrac
tive may appear the propositions
which carry glittering invest
ment features; however pleasant
it is to contemplate a time whon
premiums cease and your insur
ance is paid up; it is not the part
of wisdom to succumb to the
charm.
Despite the feeling that you
should provide for the wife in her
old age, should you not be alive
to care for her, that period of old
age is not toe one in which the
need of insurance is greatest.
Your own later years are not the
ones In which insurance is or
most importance. It is in youth
that the need most exists.
One of the favorite arguments
of the old-line agent in behalf of
the payment or the endownment
policy is that when you become
old and perhaps your earning ca
pacity has ceased, you no longer
need to keep on paying premiums
to avoid a lapse. Very true, but
look at it from another stand
point.
The yoqng man, recently mar
ried, in a majority of cases has a
limited income. The first 20
years of married life constitute
the time of his family's greatest
dependence. There are besides
the wife, and children to be fed,
clothed and educated. After the
children have reached the self
supporting age the expenses of
the family are enormously dimin
ished. The dependence of the
family is considerably lessened.
Every right-minded man de
sires to arrange matters so that
the wife may not be depenent en
tirely in her. old age even upon
the children. Still that is a lesser
evil than to be dependent upon
the public, not alone for her own
needs, but those of a family of
little ones.
What the young man wants
therefore is quantity of insurance
An expenditure that would carry
along $1,000 of investment insur
ance will provide, roughly speak
ing, about $3,000 of first-class
protection. If in her later years,
nis condition in lire should war
rant such action, investments can
be gathered in without difficulty,
