The Detroit Life Insurance Corn-
pany as a tribute to its vice-pres-
ident Morris Fishman has for the
past few years designated the month
of March as Fishman month. Dur-
ing the month of March, 1926 the
Company wrote $3,373,635 of new
business. To commemorate March
1927 which is the Fifteenth Annual
"Fishman Month," the Fishman
Agency has set a goal of $3,500,000•

Life Insurance Means--The satisfaction of a Duty
performed. The Duty of still greater provision
for your loved ones!

What is the minimum income you will require in your old age, or if you
become totally and permanently disabled; and what is the smallest annual in-
come your family could manage on if you were taken away?
Is it $500 a year, or $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, $10,000, or more?
How much will it require to settle your estate—to pay your debts, mort-
gages, and taxes, including the federal and state inheritance taxes?
How mucn cash will be needed at your death, or the death of your part-
ner or an official of your company, to stabilize credit or to enable surviving
partners or stockholders to acquire the deceased associate's interest in the
business and carry on?
