Southland Life Insurance Company is happy
to announce that Charlie Jungmichel has just
completed a 26-week Tax and Buslnes insur-
ance course in Austin. The course has given
Mr. Jungmichel a better knowledge of the
Estate Tax and Business Insurance problems
facing the people today. Unfortunately, most
people are unaware that the process of Es-
tate Transfer is neither simple nor direct
and is usually costly. Through proper plan-
ning with the assistance of Charlie Jung-
michel, estate settlement costs can be min-
imized. It can also be costly when a business
loses its key man or a partnership loses
one of its partners. Once again the man to
consult for proper planning of your business
continuation in the event of this type of loss
is Charlie Jungmichel. The proper time to
plan such a program with Mr Jungmichel is
today because tomorrow may be too late.
Remember---procrastination is the highest
cost of life insurance. It Increases both
your premium and your risk.
