Did you borrow money on your Life Insurance, where the<br />
interest rates are 5V2% or 6%? If you did, you may be abfe<br />
to convert that loan to a First National Insurance loan at 3% or<br />
4% . . . and that means a substantial saving every<br />
year during the life of the loan!<br />
N We lo»n money en Life Insurance policies, and<br />
frequently are able to show real savings when<br />
converting existing loans (i€ their terms make<br />
it possible). Why not hire the money you need at<br />
the lowest cost to you? We'll be glad to give you<br />
complete details!<br />
