Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/4″ ad that is for the Mutual Of New York Insurance Company. This ad has a picture of “Harmannus van Bergen heads the Bell Foundry in Greenwood, S.C, which casts and sells musical bells and carillons”, a man standing with his foot on a table that has a few small bells. The ad headline has him saying “Disability income insurance? That’s out! My bell business would pay my inconme”. That’s a nice thought, but in a perfect world we would have this. “‘But a MONY man showed me how to cut the risks I was taking with my family’s future’ You wouldn’t find a less likely prospect! I told MONY man John Grier. I’m young, I’m healthy. My church bell business is doing very nicely. Even if I got sick, my wife would return to teaching and provide income. Finally, we’re setting aside any money we can save. We’re expecting another child. But John certainly opened my eyes. He pointed out that without me the income from my business might fall off to virtually nothing. That Peggy could only go back to work at the expense of our child’s care. He made me realize that accidents and sickness could happen to anyone, regardless of age, and that the time to buy was when youth and good health insured my getting a policy inexpensively. He even arranged an easy way to pay premiums called “MONY-matic”. I hardly feel the payments at all. But I sure feel a lot more secure knowing my family can get an income if I’m disabled and can’t work. I’m grateful to John and MONY“.
