Many people throughout the country are thinking of it about this time and some 20,000 life insurance agents are helping them; for the agent is more active in December than in any other month: he's trying to beat his last year's record under urgent pressure from his company. But don’t let him do it at your expense, for if you take a policy through any agent, his commission will come out of your premium—the first year and thereafter. This, of course, will make your insurance cost you more than if you applied direct to the one American com- pany that operates without agents, namely, The Postal Life Insurance Company Standard policy —reserves nearly $10,000,000. In. surance in force nearly — $50,000,- Standard policy -—provisions, ap- proved by the New York State Insurance Depart- ment Oldeline legal re- terve insurance— not fraternal or apsesement.
