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."
The first parliament under the Brit
ish rule in the Transvaal has not a
single Boer in it The Boers declined
to take any part in the government,
however insignificant. They said that
the outlanders had so denounced th3
Boer government that the burghers
thought that it was only right to let
the outlanders try their hand and see
what sort of government they would
set up.
