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. THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OFTHE U. S. For Detail Information Address J. E. McLAUCHLIN, District Agt. F.
