"He's made his own n3
Glenn J. Graber, of Hartville, Ohio,
didn't believe there was only one way
to run a farm. And was willing to
strike out on his own to make his new
ideas pay off. He applied his Army
learned knowledge of modern machinery
to farming. Even had a radiotelephone
in his truck to contact city markets!
At 26, Glenn now has two partners,
600 acres in Hartville, rents 560 more
in Florida, raises a million radishes a
day. From a start with 120 acres in
1941 he's won the best kind of security
the kind you make for yourself.
YOU'LL find Glenn Grabers on
every Main Street in America!
Folks who know from their own
experience that there are still
"new frontiers" of opportunity
for people with ideas. They know
you can still do more for yourself
than anyone will do for you.
To have impressive proof of this
modern "do-it-yourself spirit,"
just look at the fact that 78 million
people are voluntary owners of
life insurance. They use it for re
tirement, to educate their chil
dren, for help in sudden financial
emergencies. Many, of their own
free will, pass up some of the
things they want today for the
satisfaction of knowing that their
families are provided for.
Because this is a basic desire of
so many Americans, the need for
life insurance has grown big. The
life insurance business has grown
to match this need. Through their
more than 150,000 trained agents
across the country, 584 separate
life insurance companies aggres
sively compete to help Americans
help themselves!
L,
It's a fact that the assets of each of the
584 life insurance companies, separately in
vested, add up to more jobs and bettpr liv
ing for all . . . because:
While 78,000,000 people are using their
money to provide family protection through
life insurance, they also are helping America
itself "go places.'
For these funds, needed to guarantee the
payment of policies, are loaned out and
are actively at work. They help do such
things as extend gas and electric lines, pay
for new railroad cars, improve farms, build
homes, and provide money for business of
many kinds.
This means that each of these 78,000,000
policyholders, through his life insurance,
has a financial stake in the growth of
America and its enterprises. ,
To make sure you are getting the most
out of your present life insurance, see your
agent. Life insurance is a service! Your
agent is trained to help you use it most
effectively. The Institute of Life Insurance
