What's the unusual feature of the family • income plan The Family Income Plan is a life insurance policy specially designed for the man with a family. A small additional cost to the ordinary life premium provides a $10 or $15 monthly income for each $1000 of protection. In the event of death before a specified age, this income is paid regularly to his family until this age would have been reached. At the end of that time his family receives the full face value of the policy in addition. This plan is particularly valuable before the time children become self. supporting.
