world...

nearly five million Canadians face the future with
fied Life Insurance serves

them these four ways!

1. Each year, life insurance pro-
vides many thousands of Cana.
dians with money to meet some
of their most important needs.
Last year, life insurance com-
panies paid out $240 million in
benefits to Canadians,

2. Today, more than ever,
Canadians rely on life it

as the easiest, surest way to
provide financial security for
themselves and their families,
A record total of almost $2 billion
in new life insurance was pur-
chased by Canadians in 1951.
This brings the value of life in-
surance owned ‘by the nation’s
policyholders to another new
record sum of $17 billion.

3. Canadi ities from
coast to coast continue to pro-
gress — thanks in part to the

investment of life insurance
dollars.

Last year, more than $225 million
were invested by life insurance
companies, on behalf of their
policyholders, in securities that
helped to finance the building of
new schools, homes, highways and
other aids to better living for all

4. Life insurance dollars help to
check inflation!

One of the most powerful forces
at work to protect the value of
your dollars is the sum of money
entrusted to life insurance com-
panies by their policyholders.
This ‘money for the future” helps
check inflation and thus
Canada’s economy —
at a time when our country must
be strong in every way.

Some flee from the law to find
refuge
In a land that is wild and strange

Some dig for gold in a creek bed

And they dream of the riches

Of the cars and the lights in the

But seldom they ever return.

And some settle down on a

And build a log shack on their

They hew out a.home in the

By the toil and the sweat of

In the greed of a gold digger’s |

And few may find ease and

But the heart of a man wil? grow

And his wits sharpen up like a

It may be the battle with nature

The challenge of mountain and

Or the wild and rugged country

That the heart of a man will

tell you

There's something they just can’t

So they turn their face to the

And go back up the Cariboo Trail.

Loafing for a Living

The “Loafing” or “Pen” type dairy barn is
just one of the many recent improvements in
farm buildings. You will be looking into new
types of buildings, and new ways to arrange
present buildings before you go beyond the ,
planning stage of construction or repairs. Mod-
ern farm buildings are designed to save labour,
protect herd health and lead to greater profits.

Discuss your financial problems with the local
Commerce manager. He represents a bank
that has for many years taken a keen interest
in promoting better farming and in looking
after Canadian farmers’ banking needs. Why
not pay him a visit?
