Parents should help their child- ren to take out policies at as early an age as possible. Taking out such policies and then turn- ing them over to the children as soon as they are self-supporting starts them out in life with a real value and assists them in acquiring early a sense of re- sponsibility and habit of saving which will help them throughout their lives.” If you want to give your son or daughter this advantage — Call, telephone or write Special Agent Keith 6.
