Jane: ‘How can Postal Life give you so much insur- ance for only $1 a month? You are 28 years old, and you tell me that under their plan you can get $1,003 of old line, legal reserve life insurance at this low rate.” Jim: “That's easy to understand. Postal sells direct- by-mail and has no agents or branch office expenses to pay. These savings are passed on to me. “Now take this Dollar Policy. It was especially de- signed by Postal to meet existing unsettled conditions. So many people feel they can’t afford insurance, so Postal devised this policy that calls for payments of only $1 a month for the first five years. I don’t have to pay the permanent rate of $2 a month until the begin- ning of the sixth year, when conditions should be much better and my earnings considerably improved.” Jane: “That sounds like a very sensible plan, but while you pay only one dollar a month do you get full coverage—does your policy protect me with the same amount of insurance that the $2 permanent rate buys?” Jim: “Absolutely! That’s the beauty of it. I get full coverage all the time except for the first six months when I receive half coverage.” Jane: “That's a lot of insurance to get for a dollar a month and we certainly can afford that—but is it diffi- cult to take out a policy direct with Postal? What do you have to do?” Jim: “The easiest thing in the world. I just fill in and clip the coupon from this Postal ‘ad,’ enclose a dollar to cover my first month’s premium, and mail it to the Postal Life Insurance Company. And I get my money back if my application is not accepted. “And another thing, if we can afford $2 a month we can buy twice as much insurance under this plan, or for $3 a month, three times as much. There's no limit to the amount we can take out.” Jane: “That’s great. I always thought buying insurance was compli- cated. I see it’s easy to save money the Postal way. Now tell me some- thing about Postal.” Jim: “Postal Life is an Old Line company that has been providing legal reserve insurance direct-by- mail for thirty years to thousands of thrifty, sensible people in every State in the What You Receive for a Monthly Premium of— icy does not fit your needs, Postal issues other stand- ard forms, ages 10 to 60 inclusive. “How Can POSTAL LIFE Give So Much Insurance For Only *ff2°A Month//” Union.
