He may not be a celebrity, a high government official or captain of
industry. But, for his contribution to the welfare of his community,
he deserves to have a carpet rolled out for him 1 Who is he?
He is the typical life insurance policyholder — a man whose influence
on your standards of living is greater than you may think! For part
of his premium money, invested for him by a life insurance company,
has helped to build new schools, highways, industrial plants, housing,
oil pipelines, and many other important projects from coast to coast.
Yet perhaps the most important contribution he makes to his com
munity is simply this: As a life insurance owner, he is doing his best
to make sure that he and his family will always be independent.
No wonder we’re rolling out the carpet for him — and the millions
of Canadians he represents!
