Too long under a bushel
• Here’s a man who does a great deal
to benefit his fellow-citizens. Yet for
a long time he’s been "hiding his
light under a bushel’’.
Anyone looking up Main Street,
for instance, might never guess that
he had a hand in establishing some of
its fine new stores, hotels, office or
apartment buildings. But he has.
Nor would many people realize
that they may have him to thank in
part for their homes. Or for the pure
water that flows from the faucets. Or
the electricity that serves them so
many ways at the flick of a switch.
Every week workers take home pay
from industries that this man helped
develop. But they’re unaware of
his connection, with their jobs.
He even has an influence on his
fellow-citizens’ health and the length
of their lives!
’Who is he?
He’s the typical life insurance
policyholder — a man who might be
any one of millions of Canadians.
And it is through investments of his
premium money that he helps create
public works, homes and industries
in their communities. Life insurance
money is also contributed to medical
research projects seeking to banish
deadly diseases. J
So, if you own life insurance, get
out from under that bushel
take a bow!
