"The Store with a Conscience"
d ?o1"The Most Sacred of Human
Institutions"
AS "The Saturday Evening Post" points
out, "The duty of a married man
without a fortune, to insure his life
is as clear and almost as urgent as his duty
to support his family while he is living."
The same tb ought is expressed in the fol-,
lowing editorial from 4'I?he Commercial
Tribune," of,Cincinnati: ?
"Life insurance was evolved for the
protection of the most sacred of human in
stitutions-the family. It has done and is
doing that work with unswerving fidelity,
and no coming tinie ean wither its strength
or the certainty that the family of the man
who insures and stays insured shall never
know the misery and degredation of a pen
niless existence."
, vb r V t Are you adequately and securely insur
ed with the Mutual BenefitPr-rthe Company
that put **sur(e)" in insurance by the adop
tion in 1912 of RESERVES TO COVER
ALL CONT?NoENCIES to which the
life insurance business is exposed.
