Under this Disability Clause you have agreed to pay his premiums while the disability lasts, and his family is protected for the full amount of the Policy, $5,000.00, without further payment of premi ums on his part. I cannot speak too highly of your Company, and of this splendid feature of your Elective Policies. I congratulate you on the great progress you are making, and do not wonder that you are gaining the confidence and patronage of such a host of our people.
