Insurance on notes at banks plan gains bankers approval
A new borrower life insurance service devised by Charlton-Cunningham General Agency is adopted by Lawrence banks. The plan embeds insurance in notes from one day to six months, costing $1 for a $100 six month loan, with benefits to estates if the borrower dies and the bank if payments are interrupted. Bank Savings Life Co of Topeka handles liability for insured notes. E Cunningham and G Charlton promote the scheme after years with Mutual Oil and local insurance firms.
