WHY SUOl’LI) A MAN buy a LiIV Insurance Policy that lie has
to pay on all his lift* witli no assurance as to what tho extra assess-
ments will ho and with no ^unrantoo as to tho future of out come- —
whether ho will outlive the society or it will outlive hiint
The Above Facts
Undisputed As To
Some Insurance
Societies Today
You can buy an Insurance Policy from the STATE LIFK that you
can pay out just like any other piece of property and when it is paid out
you can cash it if you luive lived, and if deatli occurs before you pay
out same WHY' TO TW SlJItK TIIK PLAIM IS PAID, because there i«
a guarantee behind the contract that means SOMETHING.
Another Feature About
The State Life Policy
If death is caused by an accident the Company pays double the
face of the Policy.
Another Feature
Ts that if you become totally disabled by accident or disease, tho
Policy becomes paid up and furthermore, will pay you one per cent
of the face of the policy each month and then the face in case of death.
CAN YOU BEAT THIS FOR LIFE INSURANCE!
m
A Die To Win Life Insurance
Policy Is Out Of Date
If you*live tlie STATE LIFE will pay you your money back with
interest and if you die they will pay your beneficiary. THERE IS NO
WAY TO LOSE.
And F u rthermore
The State Life will pay you a cash dividend each year as long as
you live, not only while you are paving them but os long as the policy
is in force. YOU share in the profits and you need not think they
don’t make the profits.
