FROM THE EBITOrS DESK
YOUNG HUSBANDS BUYING
GREATER AMOUNTS OF
FAMILY PROTECTION
Young married men waste little
time these clays providing the founda-
tion to build a seeond financial future
for their řamilies.
They are, in fact, bvtying large life
Insurance policies in nearly the same
relative num.ber as older peršons ap-
proachíng their peak earning years.
The Institute of Life Insurance re-
ports tliat 20 out of every 100 “ordi-
nary” life Insurance polic i es brought
in 1967 by married men between the
ages of 25 and 29 were in amounts of
$25,000 or more. During the same year,
26 of every 100 policies the same size
were purchased by married men be-
tween 30 and 39.
View.ed another way, about three out
of four .husbands between the ages of
25 and 39 bought policies of $10,000
and over.
The figures are from the annual
“Buyer Study” of the Life Insurance
Agency Management Association.
Other factors revealed by the study:
—More life insurance policies were
bought by Americans earning between
$5,000 and $7,500 than by any other in-
come group. All adults in this mid-
income range bought 28 out of every
100 ordinary policies.
—Persons earning less than $5,000
purchased 21 of every new policies,
IEEAJtT MAGIC
The heart makes its own magie.
Sšght of sunset or a stár
Will send sorne hearts a-wandering
To fabled scenes afar.
Raindrops. tapping on window pane,
In a symphony of rhyme,
Other hearts flee backward
To home and childhood time.
Few hearts are so hardened,
So devoid of sympathy.
Blit the re is magie to unlock
If we blit finti the key.
—Liila Lamme
while those earning $7,500 or more ae-
counted for 26 of every 100.
-—The remaining coverage was iá-
sued to “non-employed” persons, most-
ly housewives and teenagera.
Although the 25-29 age group
brou-ght one-fifth of the $25,000 and
over” protection in 1967, a large pro-
portion of married men the same age
were building a security program at a
somewhat more modest level.
A little over halí of the husbands in
this age spán bought policies provid-
ing $10,000 to $25,000 of protection.
Slightly less than 40 per cent of the
40-49 age group bought policies of this
size.
Porty-three out of every 100 ordí-
nary policies, bought by unmarried
women 20 and over were purchased by
those who earned between $3,000 and
$5,000. Sixteen per cent of the policies
purchased by all women in this age
and marltal group were for $5,000 of
coverage. Fifty-four per cent of the
policies were between $2,000 and $5-
000.
;Sixteen out of every 100 policies
bought by married women between 25
and 39 were purchased by those who
earned $3,000 to $5,000. Thirty-seven
per cent of the policies purchased by
all women in this age and marital
group providcd $5,000 to $10,000 of
protection.
Craftsman, foremen and operátore
bought over one-quarter of all new
ordinary policies in 1967. Clerical and
sales help purchased 15 per cent.
