It permission from the A.Y.P.A. to If you live in an average Cana­ dian community, you can easily see that it’s changing. Everywhere you look, new construction tells a story of progress. Here, perhaps, is a handsome new store. There, a new bridge, office building, power plant, highway, housing project — or some other vital development that makes life better for all. But do you know that many of these developments are made possible by a certain Key Man? And can you guess who he is? He’s the typical life insur­ ance policyholder—represent­ ing millions of Canadians. How can he do all this just by owning life insurance? a Because a large part of his premium dollars is invested for him in sound securities which help finance many such projects. Each year, more than 225 million life insurance dol­ lars are put to work in these useful ways from coast to coast! The life insurance policy- holder is a helpful citizen in another way. For the money he puts aside for the future helps safeguard his family from ever becoming a financial burden to others. All in all, he’s an asset to his community and the nation!
