MARCH 4 1943 VOLUME 45 NUMBER 20 CAN SPRING BE FAR BEHIND? ALUMNI # Pool Insurance Wartime readjustments . * . 6 Problems, too! Like the car pool, life insurance is a mutual matter. And so is life insurance counsel. Sound counsel calls for mutual trust and confidence. A good way to get good advice on your wartime financial readjustments is to talk them over fully and frankly with competent underwriters. A number of them are listed be- low. They're alumni of your college and they talk your language. They are also trained representatives of the First Mutual Life Insurance Company Chartered in America. Out of their experience you'll get practical, constructive sugges- tions. They'll help you make the most of your limited life insurance dollars — help you protect your present policies with premium loans if necessary. Check your protection now when you need it most.
