What boosts a man’s stock
with people like these?
Invariably, employers like the kind
of man who readily accepts re
sponsibility. And they know that
this attitude is suggested by a
man's ownership of life insurance.
So life insurance can be a “plus”
to a man in any line of work.
Many a man is rated “the best
husband in the world” by his wife.
But if he owns life insurance—
which provides his family with
financial security—he enjoys extra
laurels because of his concern for
their future.
Because bankers and others who
lend money render such useful
service, their opinion of a man is
Important. To them, ownership of
adequate life insurance is often an
important factor in establishing
satisfactory credit.
NflGHBOUgS ■
When they know that a man owns
life insurance, they know he’s try
ing to achieve financial indepen
dence for his family and, perhaps,
for his own later years. And be
cause he’s doing his share in this
way, they regard him with respect.
Today, millions of Canadians
