There Is nothing In this world so uncertain x
I as the duration of a single life. Provide W
against this uncertainty by taking a guaran- A
teed life polloy with Aiken & Ellis. \
Men not only want to live rich, but to die ?
rich ; tbe best, easiest and safest way to do #
both is to take a life policy at once In tbe A
Travfilflrs. with Atlrnn A Rlllfl. ^
The Travelers makes no estimates; all pol- \
Idea guaranteed. The difference between an w
"estimate" and a guarantee Is the difference 4
between certainty and "uncertainty." See ^
