It requires strenuous, unremitting toil to put his business on a sound footing. With many, death intervenes before plans are completed or before the business is in the best of shape to turn over to heirs or to dispose of for their benefit Too often, when the guiding . spirit is gone, a business turns out to be a small asset to an estate. ' While devoting his energies to building his business, if a man makes it a point to create an independent estate, also, he will have an anchor to windward for himself, a separate fund to tide his family over immediate emergencies, and, meantime, an additional source of income which will always stand him in good stead. The "Security Savings and Trust Plan" for creating and en larging an independent' estate is a plan which embodies all the best methods for establishing an invested reserve. Every business man should post himself thoroughly on this plan" Our booklet gives him the means for doing so.
