MAY 28, 1903. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT 11 HOW TO SAVE MONEY B. H. ROBISON, PRESIDENT OP OMAHA'S STRONG, VIGOROUS, AGGRESSIVE AND SUC CESSFUL BANRERsIeSERVE LIFE Offers a Homily Worth Reading Upon the Subject of Money Making. AT THE BREAKFAST TABLE "The American people are extrava gant," said B. H. Robison, president of the Bankers Reserve Life associa tion, as he turned toward a newspaper man who was seeking a story. ''They are unwilling to submit to the rigid economy which makes for tunes for their business associates born on the other side of the water or bred and trained by ancestors who learned' to husband all their resources in the hard staool of experience in foreign lands. "Household expenditures, pleasure parties, junkets and culture in Ameri ca mean large drafts upon the bread winner's purse. The children of America require larger sums of mon ey for their comfort and convenience than the elders of foreign families count necessary. "In our land money comes easy and it goes easy. The average salaried man with a wife and children seldom lays by anything until past middln life. School, church, society and bit of travel take up whatsoever sums are not consumed for food, clothing and other actual necessities. "The young men acquire habits of luxury which absorb most of their earnings, and the average American, wage-earner is usually dependent up on steady employment for the require -mer '-"Shis person or his household. ere it not-for life insurance in one form or another the dependents of the ordinary citizen would be left with little or no resources when death calls thehead of the household from the counting room to the grave. . "The fraternities protect hundreds of thousands of our people from want. The life insurance companies save the families of other hundreds of thou sands from discomfort, if not distress. "The life insurance companies are the -afest, best and most profitable form of savings institutions in Ameri ca. A twenty-payment policy in the Bankers Reserve Life is not only a protection for the beneficiaries, but a positive, unfailing bank account for the breadwinner himself. With its cash surrender values, its loan values and the other liberal options offered by this and kindred forms of life in surance policies every man earning money can make sure of saving some thing, while at the same time protect ing his family. "I would not have a policy in a fra ternal order lapse," continued the president of the Bankers Reserve Life, "but I wish every man in business or tt work for wages could be made to understand the importance of carrying a policy in a company like the Bank ers Reserve Lif. "Our policies are as good as gov ernment bonds.' They are available assets in the hands of the policy holders. Whether carried for the full term or used as collateral or cashed up before maturity, they are equiva lent at all times to a bank account. In sickness, financial misfortune or atli they are invaluable. I wish you would invite your readers to corre spond with me upon this subject. The newspapers do not appreciate the im portance to the community of life in . surance."
