In tho fall, or winter, of 1832, thirty

The Important Subject
Of Life Insnrirneo is gradually and
deservedly Ruining public attention by
tho force of its own merits. Tbotimo
is not far distant when tho doutb of n
man leaving his family unprovided
for by a policy of Life Assurance, will
leave the stain of neglected duty upon
his character. It is a duty which ev
ery ono owes to his own dopoudouts
and to the community. He who neg
lects it is not a good husband, father
or citizen. He has no right even to
risk the chance of throwing tho future
support of his famiiy, iu case of his
death, on tho community at largo, or
on relatives and friends, when it is in
his power so easily to provide against
such conlingoucks.
The Mobile Life
Iisuoh policies on it'd tho approved
plans of Insurance.
In the middlo rands of life h w have
much capital to leavo for the benefit
of their fatuities, in tho ovont of their
fatly decease, but most have incomes.
Ry dovoting a portion of tho laittr in
the way of Life Assurance, the head
of a family can muko sure that, die
when ho may, eveu on tho day after
the first i nuual payment, his widow
anil child on will ho endowed with a
certain nuoiut of money.
Take an Endowment Policy,
and thus provide for your family in
tho event uf early doatli, and for your
own old ago, should you live out tho
stipulated time.
Ono ought to bo satisfied if ho gots,
at tho end of twenty yonrs, all the
money ho has invested, with more than
soveu per cent, interest, and has had
the assurance, nil through thoso twen
ty .tears that, iu caso hu dkd, tho full
amount of tho policy would at oneo
bo payablo to tho beneficiary muter
tho same. It scums too good to lie
true, but it can be provod if you will
take tho trouble to inquire,
“I am satisfied," said Goucral Donr-
born, “that among ono hundred mer
chants nnd traders, not more than
throo over acquire iudepcuilance.’'
Every Merchamt
Should t.iko an Endowment Policy or
Limited Payment Policy iu the
MOBILE LIFE.
A girl of seventeen, in Schoharie,
N. Y., was asked, a fuw days ago, by
a smart young nun who had uo means
but his salary, to become his spouse.
“Is your life insured V" asked she.
“No,’ said the swain. “Then you
must have it insured, for I’m not go
ing to marry you and have you die
amt leavo mo to beg for a living.”
Tho Life Endowment
Ry which a Cash Endowmout cm
bo secured during life, nt life rates of
premium, is a social feature of the
Mobile Life
FOR YOUNG MUN
People sometimes object that they
cannot “afford" to assure. Such nit
(irgumedt should rather teach a man
the imperative necessity for assueiug
at once. If he feels so much difieulty
in withdrawing such a trillu of lm in
come, let him t< llect on tho liightful
condition iuto which his death would
plunge his family.
Insure in the Mobile Life nt onco.
To-morrow is not your own. Delays
breed remorse. How many estates
have boon sacrificed and familios left
penniless, because the father put off
insuriug till a more convenient season,
till ho wtfa better able.
