Spur Plan Described By Insurance Company
The class of 1929 adopts the Spur plan with each member insuring herself for 1000 dollars or more. Annual deposits vary by age and plan. Dividends after year two fund a college account with 25 dollars in ten years. Remaining dividends go to the policy holder. If a policy holder dies before donation, 25 dollars goes to the class fund and 975 to the beneficiary. After year three, the policy gains cash value on demand. The New York Life Insurance Company notes it pays living policy-holders more than death-claims and holds over 382 million dollars for policy-holders.
