Next time you watch a construction job, remember—you may have a closer connection with it than you think! If you own life insurance, that connection could be very close. Some of your premium money might be helping to pay the cost of digging that gaping pit. For, every year, hundreds of millions of dollars are invested for policyholders in ways that provide many kinds of buildings, Homes, schools, power plants, waterworks . . . these are but a few of the projects which life insurance money helps develop. All this building creates jobs too. Not only jobs for builders, but for workers in new or expanded industries from coast to coast. So anyone who owns life insurance is doing more than providing financial security for himself and his family. He also helps make Canada a better land to live in!
