STATEMENT TO THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK Did you know that If it became necessary tor you to make a loan at your bank and the bank in turn desired to send your note to the Reserve Ui.nk that it would bo necessary for you to make a writ ten statement to your bank and in that statement you would have to state tho amount of Life Insur ance you were carrying and what kind? This Is a fact. Whether an individual, corporation or firm it will be necessary to state tho amount carried and to whom pay able. Important above all else In the hanking system Is tho question: "What Is ample security?" Why Is Life Insurance so important from the standpoint of credit? President A. Dnrton Hapburn of tho Chase National Hank, of New York, states one of the reasons succinctly: "When a man comes to borrow money, we want to know how much Life Insurance he curries, not so much because of its bearing on his financial power, hut ns an Indication of his type of mind, for the type of mind that induces a man to In sure his life Is the type of mind which makes for success In busi ness." If It la Important to the Fed eral Iteserve Hanks that all busi ness men carry Life Insurance Isn't it an Important reason for each Individual to consider insur ing his life? This Is Justine of the many reasons why you should investigate the oldest and strong est Life Insurance Oomiwny in the world and see If you think you should Insure before it is too late. J. F.
