FAIRBANKS, Jr. LORETTA VOIINO ClltSTE MORRIS THE DRAMATIC THUNDERBOLT lklng FasyT Li WEI An Investment that does not fluctuate in value ife I nsurance OWNERS of life'insurance have had occasion recently to compare the stability of this form of investment with that of even the highest grade securities. A chart of the market price averages of leading stocks for twenty years shows an irregular line that rises and dips, sometimes vertically, with "peaks and valleys". There are no "depressions" in the investment values of life insurance policies.. They do not fluc tuate with business cycles. From year to year, the 44 million Metropolitan Life Insurance policies show a steady increase in values to policy-holders. The man who regularly invests part of his earnings in life insurance can go to sleep each night with the knowledge that he is building an , estate of the greatest security and with a sure investment return for every dollar paid in. Life insurance is an investment whose value constantly increases the longer it is kept in force.
