tem of finance ever devised. Banks
break, stocks, bonds and real estate
depreciate, but legal reserve life in
surance companies always meet
every obligation in full. Life insur
ance is founded on a scientific basis;
its investments are restricted by law;
it is thoroughly supervised, and
must maintain at all times an ade
quate reserve for each policy. See
