Country Life 

 Insurance Policy 

 Pleases War Bride 



MRS. GEORGETTE VAUGHAN took 

 an important step recently in the pro- 

 cess of becoming an American when she 

 signed an application for Country Life 

 insurance. 



Mrs. Vaughan's policy gives the fam- 

 ily of three complete Country Life cover- 

 age according to General Agent Clare 

 Grube of Logan county. The Belgian war 

 bride of Everett Vaughan, Logan county 

 fanner, said she wanted to become a 

 complete American when she came to the 

 U. S. Since she had no life insurance 

 in Belgium she adopted an old Ameri- 

 can custom by taking out the Country Life 

 policy. 



Vaughan met his wife in Ghent during 

 the war. He farms 320 acres and is also 

 covered by lAA fire, hail, and auto in- 

 surance. The Vaughans are the parents 

 of a son, Ronald, 2. 



The fvereff Vaughan family of Logan coun- 

 ty becomes a 100 per cent Country LHe 

 family with Mrs. Vaughan, a Belgian war 

 bride, signing /or a policy. Mrs. Vaughan 

 said women and children are not allowed 

 to carry IHe Insurance In Belgium.
