"When l`arn sixty-ve years old" he explained, "I shall receive $l0,000-`from the North American Life Assurance Company. That is about twice as much as I could handle with an ordinary Endowment Policy which would mature seventeen years earlier and therefore call for a larger premium. And the beauty of it is that when we are 65 years old, Betty and I will make much better use of $10,000 than a mere $5,000 at 43. Seventeen years would put a big hole in $5,000.
