T h i s is a sound C o m p a n y . ?
" The insurance of a certain sum for one's family, is a prudence that every man should adopt in these critical t i m e s . "
The man that would be respected and loved by bis family
in life, and gratefully remembered In death, will provide hfs
family against want."
