V Lowest possible premium deposits for any permanent life insurance plan with the premium payments confined to working years.

V No premiums due after retirement, age 65. Guaranteed paid up at age 65- earlier if dividends are accumulated.

INSURANCE

Most People Buy Life Insurance To Provide Income .. Jefferson Standard Pays 4%* Interest On Policy Proceeds Left With The Company To Provide Income.

Jefferson Standard's investment record is outstanding in the life insurance in- dustry. Expert management makes every investment dollar yield its great- est safe return. Jefferson Standard's

excellent interest return has made it possible to provide greatly increased income dollars to the policyholder or beneficiary.

HERE'S AN ACTUAL CASH COMPARISON

John Blake Thought Of The Future

Charles White Thought Of The Future, Too.

Mr. 4%

Mr. 4% represents the Jefferson Standard

Mr. Blake died leaving $20,000 life insurance to provide income for his wife. This arrangement provided for a 21/2% interest rate on funds held in trust for beneficiaries.

Mr. White died leaving $20,000 life insurance, BUT Mr. White's life insurance was with the Jefferson Standard which pays 4% (guaran- tees 21/2% *) on funds held in trust for beneficiaries.

When Blake died, his wife re- ceived $100.00 a month from his life insurance.

When White died, his wife received $100.00 a month, too, from his life insurance.

HERE'S THE DIFFERENCE

At the end of 21 years and 5 months, the payments to Mrs. Blake stopped.

At the end of 21 years and 5 months, Mrs. White could look for- ward to 5 years and 6 months more of $100.00 per month payments. She received $6,600 MORE in all from the Jefferson Standard.

Your Mr. 4% is.

OUT OF SIGHT! OUT OF MIND! OUT OF BUSINESS!

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or prod- uct, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.

The City Directory is the natural medium for keeping a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.
