FACTS...

The Detroit Life Insurance
Company was one of the few
legal reserve life insurance com-
panies to show a substantial
increase in paid•for insurance
during the past year•--and, as
well, an increase in assets.

CURRENT EVENTS have proved that nowhere on earth
is there another institution that has achieved the heights of
usefulness and service to mankind as the institution of Life
Insurance. When everybody needed money at once—when the
machinery of business broke down, credit contracted, people
turned to their life insurance, and found during the economic
upheaval—now as always—ready cash to "carry on."

The Detroit Life Insurance Company is a sterling example of a local
institution that has proved itself unquestionably sound. It is both ambitions
in its ideals and determined in its progress. Its management is in the hands
of experienced and skilled executives, while its Board of Directors reflects
the best business and financial ability available.

The Detroit Life Insurance Company is proud of its record as a growing organization, its
undisputed stability, and ever expanding service facilities for its policyholders making it in fact
