How Much is a Dollar? To the young and vigorous man, riding the crest of his career, it is, perhaps, not enough to get unduly excited about.

But when age has crept on apace and certain com- forts are needed to assure that serenity and rest old people require, then a dollar has far greater value. A Prudential policyholder may deposit a small yearly sum and at the end of a designated number of years may have, as a result of this saving, an endowment against the want of old age. This policy provides that the amount of insurance, together with any paid-up addition on account of dividends, shall be paid in cash at age sixty if the insured is then living or at death if that occur prior to age sixty.
