This old tract (probably from the '40s or '50s) put out by The Faith, Prayer, and Tract League of Grand Rapids, Michigan (which is still around) isn't really weird; it's just lame. The idea that someone would pick up a piece of paper because they believe it is an insurance ad is really weak stuff. It isn't just the front page but the entire tract is formatted like an insurance policy ad including headings such as "Paid up Capital" and "Reason for Insuring in the King's Insurance Company." I'm sure the tract writers thought they were too clever by half; they weren't.
