Carry
That's the way to put it.
There used to be an old question asked of men by their fellows and by life
insurance solicitorsDo you carry Life insurance?"
But that question is out of date.
Nobody carries life insurance: the thing is- an impossibility, for life insurance
won't be in the position of being carried. It is no burden on any man s
back. It is an automotive vehicle that carries everybody who invests in it.
But let lis not juggle with words-what we do mean when we say life insur
ance "carries" the man who buys it.
To begin with, there is something that every de
cent man feels with regard to the future of wife
and children that is actually a load on his mind
and on his heart a load that cripples hid effic
iency in other things; that either makes him. reck
less in his expenditures, because he sees no way
of meeting adequately this problem of the future
welfare of his family, or that makes him miserly
and unhappy for the same reason..: This load, lift;
insurance assumes and carries in such a way as to
absolutely relieve the man of his burden. It starts
him out every day, care free in reference to future
obligations in case of his sudden death or serious
illness.
Again, life insurance carries you into a first
rate habit which is hard otherwise to form, viz., a
habit of systematic saving.
"Yes, but," you say, "a man must carry life
insurance before it can carry him. ' 1 This might be
trie if there were not so many additional things
which are intensely personal, in which life insur
ance actually carries the individual who invests in
it. For instance, a life insurance policy carries you
to the door of the bank and gives you, a welcome
with the President when you ask him for a business
loan, and you would find, if you could explore the
back of his mind, thaf that life insurance policy
had carried you very much farther into his good
graces concerning that financial transaction' than
you could have imagined.: -.. ,i , '
Again, life insurance carries you into the posi
tion of a sizable estate just as soon as the first
premium is paid. This is a good big argument in
favor cf the man who invests. .
, Again, in almost every man's life there comes
a time when he actually needs to be picked up and
carried for a while. Something serious has hap
pened, a big doctor's bill or an unfortunate busi
ness experience, or something of the sort -has
bowled him over,... At that time a life insurance
policy comes along and actually puts him on his
feet and starts him all over again. This, of course,
is due to the loan value which life insurance poli
cies always have after the first two years .of life.
Again, although a life insurance policy hasn't
as many lives as a cat, yet it has been frequently
found to be alive when the man had previously in
vested in it thought it had died for lack of premium
payments. In the modern life insurance policy
there is a provision which starts a reserve fund
working after the premium fund has failed and if a
man dies within a certain length of time; his heirs
will, discover that that policy, although apparently
surrendered, has full vitality that is to say, is
payable in full to his beneficiaries.
There are many other instances in which it can
be easily shown that a life insurance policy, under
all circumstances, carries a man who invests in it.
So it is no longer accurate to say that you carry
life insurance any more than you say you carry a
United States Liberty Bond, in which you have
invested and which at any time can be turned into
cash.
Let Us Ask You Very Seriously
Have you given life insurance the opportunity to take you along the road of
success in life, releasing your energies, your'time, your thought for work and
for enjoyments which would be impossible if life insurance did not carry -for
you the big liabilities to which we have referred.
If life insurance does not carry you, won't you hail the first life insurance
salesman you can think of just as you would call up a taxi in order to be carried
frcm one place to another won't you call this man up and tell him that you
want a quick tip from uncertainty to insurance; that you want to have a big
load taken off your mind concerning the future of your wife and children, and
in short that you want to have life insurance carry you and your family safely,
smoothly, to the place of financial security that will be at once economical
and will give you a sense of welfare quite inexpressible.
