Show There is no country in the world where spirited activity is more general than it is in America. The bustle of commercial life causes foreigners to look with astonished gaze upon the methods adopted by Americans in pushing business along. The active incessant labors of the workers provoke an extra waste of strength of the human body, which may perhaps be imperceptible to its owner for a certain period, but overtaxed nature will eventually bring punishment in the shape of disease or death. All persons having families depending upon their daily exertions, as well as those who thoughtlessly risk health for wealth, should carefully note the benefits placed within their reach by investing a small portion of their means in insuring with some well-known company. Insurance is a contract by which one engages for a stipulated sum to make up a loss which another may sustain. A great deal has been written pro and con, in reference to the advisability of a man placing an insurance on his life, with a view of securely providing for his family when death occurs. A carefully considered and lengthened experience of the advantages that accrue from this method, leads us to believe that it is not a correct idea for any man to leave his own flesh and blood to the cold charity of the world. The man who has secured a policy feels more contented while struggling through life's vicissitudes, knowing that his forethought will assuage trouble when he has departed. The endowment plan links the provision for old age with the death policy and must prove a specially desirable adjunct to the insurer when he arrives at a good old age. We heartily recommend an investment of this character to every man and call attention to the great advantage to be obtained by securing a policy from an old established and so reliable a company as the New York Life Insurance Company has proven to be. This Company is noted for the prompt settlement of all legitimate claims made against it. It has cash assets of nearly fifty million dollars, and a surplus of over ten millions. A company possessed of such a financial showing must certainly be considered reliable. Further, it possesses a territorial board of reference, among whom may be found some of the leading business men of the different cities and towns of Utah and Idaho. All interested should give the matter that consideration which the subject demands. |
