But these buildings arc really fashioned out of many different people’s dreams. What drcams? Perhaps a father’s hope of sending his boy to college some day. Or a school teacher’s goal of a trip to Europe. Or someone’s plan to pay off a mortgage, buy a farm, or retire at-65. Out of such drcams many different kinds of buildings are constructed all over the nation. Schools, stores, office buildings, homes, hotels, power plants, factories—these are some of the useful structures created with the aid of money which life insurance companies invest for their policyholders. So, if you are a life insurance policyholder, remember # . ■, while you’re working to make yoiir dreams dome true ... while you’re providing for your family’s Security , . , yoh’re also helping tn make Canada a better land to live in!
