We are happy to announce that we have made arrangements whereby we can offer this protection to our borrowers. Because the law permits a bank to subscribe to a 'group plan' we are able to offer this service at an extremely low rate. To illustrate the low cost, protecting a $2,000 loan is no more expensive than subscribing to a daily newspaper. On loans made on or after September 1 5, 1955. any qualified borrower who is not more than 65 years of age will be entitled to take advantage of this protection at a cost of only 7y2c per month for each $100 of indebtedness. The maximum protection per person is $5,000. This new feature is not compulsory. We offer it to you as another service of this bank. However, in view of the wonderful protection it provides for the families of our borrowers we sincerely recommend that each of our borrow ers take full advantage of it.
