Since the last time Johnny changed his plates, his Dad's $10,000 Manufacturers Life policy has gained $170 in cash value; earned an extra $144.40 in dividends and interest; protected Johnny and Mom constantly. NEWFOUNDLAND •.5 3 A Manufacturers Life participating policy is protection for your family. But protection is only part of the story. Your policy is an investment too, with guaranteed, interest-earning cash values. And it pays yearly dividends. The size of the dividend your policy earns in large part depends upon the success Manufacturers Life enjoys in its own investments. In this field, Manufacturers Life has an outstand- ing record. And 1963 was no exception. In fact, $13,706,785 will be paid as dividends to policyowners in 1964— including an increased payment for Johnny's Dad. (See 77th Annual 1.64 Report, page 13. We'd be glad to send you a copy on request.) But no annual report could reveal all the advantages of owning a Manu- facturers Life participating policy. The way it helps you accumulate a real nest egg, for example, with cash values increasing a guaranteed amount year after year. Or the ease with which you can borrow on your policy. To explain these things, you need a Man from Manufacturers. Call one up. Soon. MANUFACTURERS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY BRANCH OFFICES FROM ST. JOHN'S, NFLD,, TO VICTORIA, B.C.
