ASSURANCE IS SOUND
INVESTMENT
THERE ARE OVER 100 FIRST-CLASS LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANIES all competing, each one
offering different advantages, no two policies alike. The
best for the civilian is not the best for the soldier—the
best for an Endowment Policy with profits is not the best
for the same kind of policy without profits.
And a multitude of other ways that only an unbiassed
expert can tell you.
2 LIFE ASSURANCE CAN HELP YOU
by lifting obligations off your shoulders that death would
not cancel, but merely shift on to the shoulders of your
dependents, perhaps ill-equipped to bear them. You
must wish to continue a sufficient income for the main
tenance of your wife and children—or to clear the house
you leave of mortgage—to pay outstanding accounts, or
perhaps death duties.
THE REASON THAT F. P. BAKER & CO. HAVE
ACHIEVED SUCH PHENOMENAL SUCCESS
WITH INSURANCE % IN RECENT YEARS IS
BECAUSE THEY REALISED THESE FACTS AND
ORGANISED FOR THEIR OWN CLIENTELE
A SOURCE OF EXCEPTIONAL ADVICE FROM
EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED INSURANCE
CONSULTANTS.

you what advantages we could secure for you.
Do it now, while you think of it.
PROBLEMS
FOR WHICH THERE IS AN EXCELLENT SOLUTION-BUT
WHICH VERY FEW PEOPLE HAVE REALISED.
HAVE YOU STOPPED TO CONSIDER ?
How would school bills be met should you die ? When they do
come along in the future will it mean a very difficult drain on your
Income ?
If you should die will your dependents have enough to live on
reasonably, In the same way as they live now ?
Again, when the mortgage or outstanding bills are paid, will there
be enough to produce a sufficient income for your dependents on
the probable yield of Gilt-Edged investments—and many other
problems, for which we offer a solution herein.
