Item HT 39193 Leaflet - 'So Far, So Good! But What of My Future?', Australian Mutual Provident Society, Sydney, Jun 1941

Summary

Pamphlet titled 'So Far, So Good! But What of My Future?' Issued by the Australian Mutual Provident Society's Industrial Department, it includes a 'Table K20' - a 'special 20-year policy for children'. The policy offers 'life assurance', with a sliding scale of benefits in the event of the death of the child. The policy matures after 20 years. The term 'assurance' indicates that the policy is for an event which will certainly happen, as opposed to an event that might happen, such as an early death (which is covered by insurance). The policy will be paid out when the concluding event, such as death or adulthood, occurs.

Donated to Museum Victoria with a collection of material reflecting the economic life of the donor's parents, who lived in suburban East Malvern, in south-east Melbourne.Their use of the pamphlet is indicated by hand-written calculations on a 'Cash Options' table.
