Original printed life insurance policy certificate issued March 21, 1949. Large, single sheet, measuring 11" x 15", printed on both sides, text in black, within decorative border printed in green. Prints details about premiums and benefits, "Conditions, Privileges and Limitations," details about the policy holder (General A Burkette) and beneficiary (Mary Burkette), etc. Signed in holograph facsimile by James H.
