Something else that "makes Westman, Robert Radcliffe, the Alexander, former , was the and was she and “Clothes make the man”, says the old adage. But today more and more men are learning that they can also enhance their standing with certain people by owning life insurance. Take employers, for instance. To them, a man’s ownership of life insurance suggests that he is fore­ sighted, thrifty, realistic. Above all, it reflects willing­ ness to accept responsibility — an attitude that impresses every employer. In fact, anyone who learns that a man owns life insur­ ance regards him with added respect. They know that it represents one of the most important assets any man can have. Yet perhaps the most important effect of owning life insurance is on the policyholder himself. It gives him a sense of achievement. For in no other way can he create such a valuable estate for so little in so short a time. So life insurance can do more than provide financial security for your family and yourself in later years. It also influences people in ways that help win success !
