he new John Hancock Family Income Provision, which can be applied to old or new standard John Hancock Life or Endowment policies of $5000 or more, guarantees your family, if you are not here to see them through, an annual income of 12 percent of the amount of your life insurance until the children are of age. Then the full amount of the life insur­ ance is paid to your estate or beneficiary.

This Family Income Provision is available under three plans: the 20-year plan, where the children are very young; the 15-year plan, where they are older and their period of dependency shorter; the 10-year plan, where the children have reached their “teens” and a still shorter period of family income will be needed.

Talk to a John Hancock representative or, if you prefer, write for our descriptive booklet, “Income for the Family,” to assist you in selecting the plan which is best adapted to your family needs.
