The assured thereby obtains maximum protection for his family at minimum cost at a time when protec- tion is the greatest need. In a few years he may stop paying, take a paid-up policy for $10,000, and thereafter receive regular dividends until his death when the full capital sum of $10,000 is still payable to his dependants. By middle life (if he has not selected the last-mentioned plan) his policy will mature as an endowment for 810,000, returning to him a sum far in excess of the total premiums paid.. This investment settlement comes at a time when personal and farm'ly maintenance have become more" im- portant than protection.
