An Investment in “ B I C L A * * A N N U I T Y B C N U T w ill help you to avoid this tragedy A godly husband had made careful provision for his wife, who, he felt, was not equal to business responsibilities should he be taken. His will carefully provided for the safety of everything possible, including even the payment of a modest weekly sum as current l i v i n g ex­ penses ; the estate at the wife’s death to go to several fine religious organizations. After the husband’s death, ill advised or godless friends finally succeeded in getting the wife to go to court and try to break the will; after effort and expense this was accom­ plished. Now the tragedy—so often repeated—the careful provi­ sion of that loving husband is all lost and scattered, and that widow is absolutely with­ out property or income and dependent on others; oh, the pity of such cases. This sad outcome c o u l d have been safely avoided if the Life Annuity plan had been adopted. Information as to rates of in­ come on our thoroughly protected A n n u i t y Bonds gladly given.
