The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This is your FBI! This is your FBI! The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigations. For that is as a public service, by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, and the Equitable Society's representative in your community.

A.H.O. A.H.O. When my husband died, A80 saved our home. A80 stands for Assured Home Ownership, a unique plan created by the Equitable Life Assurance Society. A low cost-first mortgage is combined with life insurance protection, so the homeowner gets extra security.

And if he should die, his widow inherits her home free and clear. In just 14 minutes, the Equitable Society will give you more details on this ideal plan for homeowners offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States.
