POLICYHOLDERS’ DUTIES
Life insurance company with
its policy holders represents
a business institution with
as many stockholders. The
success or dividends of the
company can be materially
increased by the policy hold
ers keeping in close touch
with the agent operating in
their territory and keeping
him thoroughly acquainted
with those who would likely
take insurance, thereby secur
ing a larger volume of bus
iness with a much less ex
pense.
Also it is the duty of a pol
icy holder to inform an agent
when he is soliciting an unde
sirable risk both from a phy
sical and financial standpoint
Carefully selected risks mean
a low death rate which is an
other source of dividends.
Nothing cheers and is appre
ciated more by an agent than
to be informed by a policy
holder that he is carrying
his insurance with the FRANK
LIN.
A wise suggestion has been
made by the management of
The Franklin Life that if
each policy holder would ac
quaint his general agency
office of at least one man
who would take policy that
the general agency office
would send an agent at onee
to take his application. If
this suggestion is complied
with by every policy holder
the company’s business would
be doubled in a most econom
ical way, as no policy holder
undesirable risk in the eom
would deliberately put an
pany in which he is insur
ed.

Thinking Man
The fact that each day of
our lives we accustom our
families to receive from us
the necessities of life and if
able the luxuries. Then we
should put the question to
ourselves: Would these ne
cessities and luxuries still be
coming to our families in
event of our death? A safe
and prudent way to make
sure of this provision is to
carry a policy in THE
FRANKLIN LIFE INSUR
ANCE COMPANY.
For Every Woman to Read.
When we pick up the daily
papers and read of a divorce
the question immediately
arises in our mind whose
fault is it? We solicit a uni
ted effort of every member
of the family to save guard
the home with a FRANKLIN
LIFE POLICY. In a united
purpose to protect the home
there can be no fault to find.
