DO YOU KNOW —that Brown goes back to his twentieth reunion this spring, and that he has just taken out educational insurance? To this day he doesn't know which parent or aunt or uncle paid most of his school and college bills. But he does know that he can never repay those obligations created, except by in suring ample money for the education of his own two children. So he has recently arranged endow ment policies for both, to mature at the beginning of each school and college year. He believes that his children will more genuinely appreciate their education by paying for it out of their own funds. And Brown also believes that they will better capitalize their own increased capabilities, on or before graduation, by taking out insurance for the education of the next hoped-for generation, as well as to create an immediate estate and financial guarantee of family unity. The John Hancock is particularly interested in insuring college men and women and in obtaining college graduates for the personnel of the field staff. 7*1 Over Sixty Years in Business Now Insuring Over Two Billion DoU lars on 3,500,000 Lives I RAN CE C O M P A N Y" OF BOSTON.
