A Guaranteed Income for Life
As a Christmas Gift
I T Is believed (hat the following
paragraph, will Interest any
reader whose Income Is suffi
cient to support his wife, or
daughter, or any other person
dependent on him, ns long as he
lives, but who Is not certain that
he will leave a sufficient capital to
give this support after his death.
Everyone knows that If a mar.
Insures his life In H financially
strong company organized on a
scientific basis, he can leave his
wife or daughter $1,000 or $10,000
or any other desired sum of money.
But he also knows that widows
and children usually, have no busi
ness experience, and nre In danger
of wasting or foolishly Investing a
lump sum reoelvtd In cash at a
time when husband or father Is not
at hand to give conservative advice.
To meet this difficulty the Equi
table Life Assurance Society of the
United States offers a policy which
absolutely protects the beneficiary
against all such dangers—for It
provides a fixed Income for life
payable In annual, semi-annual or
quarterly Installments.
This Income Is guaranteed; can
never be delayed; can never
shrink, and can never be In default;
and the guarantee Is made by one
of the strongest financial organiza
tions In the world.
This guarantee Is made In a
standard form of policy prescribed
by the state of New York; In
dorsed by Governor Hughes, nnd
protected by the rigid Insurance
laws recently adopted for the pro
tection of policyholders.
This Standard Policy contains so
many good things that only a few
of them can be explained In this
space. But the Society will take
pleasure In submitting a sample
policy, and in giving detailed In
formation to any Inquirer.
If you arc sufficiently Interested
to Investigate, you will find that
this policy Is a "contract" and that
there must be two parties to the
contract.. Yourself on one band,
nnd The Equitable Life Assurance
Society of tho United States on
tlie other hand.
• In consideration of a moderate
sum paid by you In advance, and
your agreement to pay a like sum
annually thereafter, tho Society
will agree to pay your wife, or
daughter, or any other designated
beneficiary, an income for life—
(The first Installment of this In
come to bo paid Immediately upon
the maturity of the original con
tract.)
OPTIONS.
But If you enter into this con
tract you will not be tied down to
the method of eettlemont described
above. Tho policy has great flex
ibility; nnd the Socley will fuffill
Us part of the contract In any one
of a variety of ways, according to
the changing needs or preferences
of the beneflclary, or In accordance
with your own decision to be made
In advance, or at any tlmo prior to
the maturity of the contract.
b'or example. Instead of a life
income, the Society will pay the
Income for a fixed period of years.
That Is to say. It will pay tho full
value of the Policy In a fixed num
ber of equal annual Installments
(Increased by Interest) thus ex
tending the payments over any de
sired period, such as 10, 15, 20, 25.
30, 36, (0. 45 or 60 years, ax mny bo
desired. Or the /ull value of the
policy may be left, temporarily, with
the Society at Interest. Or the full
value of the pqllcy may be with
drawn In one lump sum, thus Anal
ly terminating tho transactions.
There nro still ether methods of
settlement, but the rest need not be
considered at tills time.
If the flrst method of settlement
Is selected you can leave the bon-
cllclary free to choose; but If It Is
your desire to provide a fixed In
come for life, and wish to protect
the beneflclary against the dangers
referred to In the beginning of this
leaflet, the probabilities are that you
will wish to restrict tho beneflclary
to that method of settlement: I. c„
the one which will provide a fixed
life Income. Ami If this Is your
desire the contract can be so drawn
as to prevent the beneflclary front
selecting any other plan.
To render the foregoing explana
tion clear, and to submit figures
adapted exactly to your own case.
It will be necessary for you to give
the Society the date of your birth
and the date of birth of your wife,
or daughter or other person to
whom the Income Is to be paid.
Then, If you declde to Invest, It will
be hecessary for the Society to de
termine whether you ape a satis
factory risk for life Insurance; to
which end It will be accessary for
you to have an Interview with one
of the Society’s Medical Examin
ers. If the result la eatlsfnctory the
Society will then be prepared to
enter Into the contract. No ex
amination Is necessary In the case
of the beneflclary.
The Society issues a variety of
Standard Policies, any one of which
may bo selected.

Impossible. Most politicians think the
