MAXIMUM ALL COVERAGE Accident Insurance Policy for only 30 a Month As an added service to subscribers of The Herald, we have made arrangements to issue an All Coverage Accident Insurance Policy paying up to $10,000. This is a new type of policy in this field, giving protection against a much wider range of accidents than are usually covered in a low-cost policy. It is backed up by a strong old line legal reserve company, the Great Northern Life Insurance Company, which has paid to policyholders and beneficiaries more than $15, 260,000. The policy covers all accidents, except a few extra hazardous ones specifically excluded, pays for death, loss of hands, feet, eyes, legs, arms — and also pays for loss of time by ac cident. It covers you at all times, whether you are at work, at play, or at home or traveling in the United States or Canada. Its cost is the ridicu lously low amount of 30 cents a month, payable as you pay your subscription for The Herald. Protect your pocketbook against the large cost of accidents. Get a policy for yourself, and one for each member of your family. Act today. Use the application form on this page.
