Watch Jimmy go!
He’s mighty fleet on his feet. And
you can just bet that he’ll win first
prize in this race.
Some day Jimmy will grow up
and get married. Then he’ll discover
that one of the prizes he wants most
to win is financial security for his
family. But he’ll be able to win this
prize “before the race is run” •— with
life insurance. „
For, you see, the full protection of
life insurance begins the moment you
make your first premium payment.
And those premiums can help you
win some of the “prizes” that savings
provide — such as a college education
for the youngsters or a new home.
Nowadays the savings you can
make with life insurance" are more
important than ever. For, like Sa/Z
savings, they help to check inflation.
And, because they are long term
savings, their inflation-checking
power is all the greater.
So keep up your premium pay
ments. Add new life insurance as you
need it. And save money every way
you can!
