Lincoln. Neb: '
Dear Sir: ... . .. . .
I have your check No. 50308 in settlement of my policy
duo today. I am greatly pleased with this settlement, Mr."
Vilson, and as I have always been a booster for tho Bankers
Lifo, and my confidence has not been misplaced.
About a month -ago I bought another policy with your Mr.
Hetrick, this time a 20-payment life policy. I am now fifty
six years old, and in starting another 20-year journey it surely
looks as though I had great confidence in the future of the
Bankers Life Insurance Company.
Mr. Hetrick suggested a 15-payraent policy, but as my
health is apparently perfect, and I come from a long-lived
family, I chose the 20-year plan, And I have every confidence
that the future settlements of the Bankers Life wiU be as sat
isfactory as they are now.
Wishing tho company continued success, I am,
