No one else in the world would think of the thousand and one little things that
you think of to make them happy.
NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE HERE TO
LOOK AFTER THEM.
A future happiness program will provide not only for that emergency but also
for your own happiness if you live till the autumn of life.
Such a program would provide, for example:
1. A monthly inconie for your family.
2. An education for your children.
:3. An income to you in old age.
A future happiness program means also present contentment—freedom from
worry. We can present a special program for you. It might mean the difference
between happiness and misery for you or yours in the future years.

WE WISH TO ALL OUR
JEWISH FRIENDS AND
PATRONS A HAPPY AND
PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
By JOSEPH B. ABRAHAMS
"Life insurance is a necessity of American society. The fortunes of a
great majority of our families are in the productive brain or hand of the
paternal head. Every such life has a value,—not merely a moral value as
weighed in the settle of social affection and family ties,--but a value which
may be measured in money. It is to replace the loss of such a resource to the
dependent members of the family group that life insurance interposes its aid,
and by so doing it confers a benefit not only on the widow and orphan, but
on society at large, by preventing their dependence on the charities of the
public, the breaking up of the family relation and the destniction of a home."
