To gel beyond the fundamentals of the grade schools, children need help, and the natural source of such help is "Dad." Dad often needs help, too, to prepar..:! for the educational requirements of t he children, and often uses life insurance as hi~ aid. The rather of our policy-holders in the picture is depending on fifteen year endowment policies to help with the education of his children. One fifteen yelll' endowment policy for $500.00 taken each year for four years, nl a cost of about $30.00 a ycar fo r each po licy, provides payments from the insur~ ance company to the child of $500.00 yearly in time to use for the four~yea r coll ege expenses. Think it over, Dad and Mother. for your children. The earlier you start their educational policies. the surer you are that when the time comes. the money will be ready.
