A
HAPPY
NEW YEAR

Father Time has again turned over
the hour glass. We stand on the threshold
of a new year. It is our happy privilege
at this time to pause, and express our
gratitude for the many new friends which
the old Year brought to us.

MOE LEITER

During the past few years
our race has born the load
of many troubles. We have
Come through times of de-
pression and decreased
earnings, but from our pri•
rations we have learned
much.

What we have accomplished in the
past has been largely due to the loyalty
and friendship of those who entrusted
their life insurance programs to us . . .

I am happy to join in the cele-
bration of Rosh Hashonah and
it is my sincere hope that the path
which we now but dimly per-
ceive soon will be found to be a
real road to world peace and to
world justice.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.

An Old Friend Says,

HAPPY NEW YEAR

THE BLACK YEAR

5698 in Jewish History

By BERNARD POSTAL

We greet you warmly on this, your
Holiday! We genuinely appreciate the
patronage and good will with which
you have favored us through nearly
three decades now — and we'll sincerely
strive to be more-than-ever deserving
of it through the coming year!

Managing Editor, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate

The value of life insur•
ante has been forcibly
brought home to those
fortunate enough to be
policy-owners, and people
generally have seen more
clearly the advantage of
life insurance investments.

... And so we greet our faithful old
friends, our cherished new friends and
those whose friendship we will strive, in
the future, to deserve . . .

A HAPPY NEW

The new year is a logical
time to consider the condi-
tion of your estate in terms
of the protection which life
insurance provides.
