A few years Ago our father drew from your Bociety the full cash value of a $5,000 contract, so that his life exempli fied the full benefits of life insurance, both while living and in death. Our father was always a staunch friend of the Equi table Life Assurance Society. On behalf of ourselves and the other heirs, we thank you and your society for the promptness in adjusting our claim.
