Excerpt from The Coast Review, 1895, Vol. 49: A Monthly Journal Devoted to All Kinds of Insurance That Insures Many people die soon after taking out their policies, and in this way come out ahead of the company by sometimes thousands of dollars. It is certainly a source of peculiar gratification - the fact that this may be our lot, and that while we go under we come out on top, as it were, leaving behind us more money than we could save in our little tin savings bank in a long time. It is hoped that you who have not insured your life, but have been saying that you might like enough do so sometime next spring if you can get a good price for your butter - it is hoped that you will take this matter home to yourself, if your home has not been washed away by the late rains, and that you will ap ply for a policy before it is everlastingly too late. Whether or not you can get a doctor's certificate that will satisfy the company that you are physically O. K. Is another matter. If you can blow out a gas jet at twenty feet, and eat an old fashioned suet pudding without any appreciably bad effects, the inference follows that you are a good risk. It is worth trying anyhow - Grove Cole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
