THE UNION CENTRAL Life Insurance Company OF CINCINNATI, OHIO. J A. K. GRUBB, Special Agent, Decatur, Ind. ( Erwin & Mann, Abstractors, Decatur. Itid. LOCAL AGENTS -j Andrew Gottschalk, Berne, Ind. ( George W. Bolds, Geneva, Ind. No man with a family can afford to go without Life Insurance. The man in comfortable circuti&tftfloes often thinks he does not need Life Insuranoe. Yet how many such men often die poor and leave then loved ones without any provision for their support. Again, how often you have seen a dependent old man who was once in fine circumstances, * Take a Life Rate Endowment Policy in the Union Central, whioh will be a cash estate to your family in event of death, as well as a competence to yon in old age should you live until it matures, in which case it will pay you better than government bonds at five percent. All policies nonforfeitable and incontestable after three years; no restriction on travel at any time. New York Companies take all the premiums collected ont of the west and invest them m New York, in railroad stocks or bonds. The Union Central invests the premiums she collects in Loans wherever she does business. Those Loans are made on Real Estate WITHOUT COMMISSION, with privilege of partial paymente at any time and stop interest. The Commission Loan Agent never appeals to the intelligence of the public, hut to ka prejudices and ignorance in making loans with “No Life Insurance.” ? The testimonial below should be read with oare and thoughtfulness. Then reflect upon the fact the premium on Mr. Wherry’s policy was only NINE DOLLARS more than the commission would hatemaeii had he borrowed from the liberal (?) “No Life Insurance’' agent for the same time. Mr. Wherry was in good health January 15,1891, when his application was made, but he made a wise choice in his selection for a loan. C. E. Evebett, General Agent, Dkcatub, Ind., May 30, 1891. , Union Central Life Insurance Company, Fort Wayne, Ind. Deab Sib: —We have this day received of your speeial agent, A. K. Grubb, 19,500 payment in full of Policy No. 78,798 on the life of Joseph Wherry. Mr. Wherry died May 20th, ten days ago, and ifae proof of death were sent to the Company on Tuesday, May 26th, the papers for the settlement of the loss were gent out on May 29th. At the time Mr. Wherry applied for this insurance he also made application to your Company fxfr a loan of $2,500, and we now receive in settlement of this loss, all of the mortgage papers exeeated by Mr. Wherry m favor of the Company. This demonstrates beyond a doubt the wisdom of making only xn connection with Life Insurance. Had Mr. Wherry borrowed this money of any of the other loan igente M the county, we wonld have a $2,500 mortgage upon oar home and no means provided for its payment, which would meanthe loss of a lifetime’s earnings to a widow with ten ohildren. Several of Mr. Wherry’s acquaintances advised him to borrow without Life Insnranoe, telling him that he was in good health and that the money expended for Life insuranoe oould be better applied toward the re* duotion of the indebtedness. It is fortunate, indeed, for his family that he did not listen to this advioe. We reoommend your system of Loans to all persons borrowing money, as the only safe plan, and we recommend your Company for honorable dealings in every way. We thank you and your Company for the courteous treatment we have reoeived and for the prompt adjustment of this lon. ELIZABETH H. WHERRY, Administratrix. WILLIAM JL SMITH, Administrator. " - '
