Can you afford their services? These days, sickness or accident might readily require the services of one or even all of the people shown above. That is why Metropolitan is in­ troducing )»(J new policies which aim to help meet these heavy costs. The first of these is intended for the individual or family who al­ ready owns one of the Metropoli­ tan basic coverages for hospital and surgical expense. It provides a larger maximum amount payable and provides pay­ ments toward medical expenses incurred at home. The second new policy is de­ signed for the individual or family not yet covered by one of the Metropolitan basic medical ex­ pense plans. It, too, is designed to help you obtain necessary medical care in serious circumstances. And also provides payment towards “at home” medical expenses. Both these policies are at • cost within the average budget. Your Metropolitan Representa­ tive will be glad to tell you to de­ tail all the features of these two policies ... so why not call him today.
