After this amount has been paid, the Estate of the insured is immediately increased to its full value. The Estate that has been created is maintained by periodical payments. Wives sometimes object to Life Insurance. Widows never do, because only the widow realizes the hardships of readjustment and difficulty of providing the family income. Homes have been saved, business tided over, children kept in school, doctor's bills paid, families held together-all because the head of the house refused to put off, and started early to build his Estate of Life Insurance. In approximately 90 per cent of the cases the proceeds of an Insurance Policy are all that remain at the death of those responsible for the support of dependents. Insurance is the finest Estate any man can leave his Family. Yes, you, too, can have an Estate. AMERICAN STANDUAm LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY (G. M1.Bugniazet, President 1200 Fifteenth St. N. W.
