Life Insurance is a saving, not an
expense. It is sure to mature and it
makes splendid returns on the
amount deposited. Policies which
mature in their early years pay from
500% to 5,000% on the premiums
paid. Policies which mature even
after 50 years pay a wonderful rate
of interest when the protection is
figured. See R. S. McDonald, New
York Life Insurance Company egent.
