In all his years of railroading, Engineer Phillip Fraser has seen some big changes. “Rolling along in this smooth diesel locomotive,” says Mr. Fraser, “is a real thrill — a far cry from driving the old steam jobs. Its extra power gives it quicker pick-up and more speed on the grades. Besides, it cgn run from coast to coast without a change. That’s what I call progress!” Phil has seen progress in the life insurance business too. As a family man, he knows that this business offers better service today than ever before. Take life underwriters, for instance. Modern training makes these. . men better qualified to guide people through the complex problems - of planning for future security. Today, too, life insurance is more flexible. There’s a wider range of plans — allowing people to meet their own individual needs. Moreover, people with certain physical handicaps, can now enjoy the protection of life insurance. In these and other ways, the life insurance companies in Canada have progressed with the times to meet the changing needs of people in all walks of life!
