family’s minimum requirements. If this has happened
to vou or if your application for insurance has
been declined on a medical basis recently, we suggest
you check with the Man from Manufacturers.
He represents a company that practices the maxim
that life insurance should be available to as wide a
group of people as possible. Manufacturers Life in
fact was the first company in Canada to offer life
insurance to men and women with diabetes. Many
people with coronary artery disease have qualified
for Manufacturers Life policies over the past 5 years.
Our experience with both these impairments
