2,000-YEAR-OLD WISDOM 



" All men ic/icfi prosperity is at its height, ought then 

 chiefly to consider icithin themselves in ivhat xvay 

 they shall endure disaster."— TERENCE, Phormio 



THE wisdom expressed over 2,000 years 

 ago by the famous old Roman Poet and 

 Dramatist has lost none of its signifi- 

 cance to-day. 



Terence, through literary ability, rose from the 

 position of Slave to be one of the most 

 honoured men in Rome. During his career 

 he must have experienced poverty and prob- 

 ably adversity. Hence his warning to the 

 prosperous ! 



Men and Women to-day in the height of 

 their prosperity should give thought to this. 

 Business now good may go wrong. Advancing 

 age or illness may incapacitate the most 

 willing worker. Uncontrollable circumstances 

 may place the one-time prosperous in a con- 

 dition of penury. But the man (or woman) 

 possessing an adequate endowment assurance 

 policy can face the future with equanimity. 

 He can be certain of receiving if alive a capital 



sum at the age of 50 or 55 (which, if desired, 

 could then be commuted into an assured in- 

 come for life). During the whole period in 

 which he is accumulating this fund for his 

 retirement he is also affording provision for 

 his wife and family. Because, should he un- 

 fortunately die before the policy matures, the 

 whole capital sum, together with the profits 

 due to that date, would be paid without further 

 liability to the person or persons entitled 

 thereto. 



Endowment assurance is recognised by shrewd 

 business men and women as the best possible 

 investment. If best for them, it must be good 

 for you. 



Particulars of this sound and advantageous 

 method of investment can be obtained at any of 

 the "British Dominions" Branch Offices, or 

 from the " Life " Dept., 32 Moor gate Street, 

 London, E.G. 2.
