Opinion

MR. JUSTICE CASTLES

delivered the Opinion of the Court.

This is an appeal from a judgment upon a verdict for plaintiff awarding disability benefits under three disability policies owned by plaintiff.

The plaintiff was injured in an automobile accident on January 14, 1960. At that time he was insured under three accident policies which had been assumed by the defendant, two from Automobile Owners Association Insurance Co. and one from Peerless Life Insurance Co. The three policies each contain similar provisions.

Efforts to characterize parts of the policies as “bold type” or “small print” cause us to reproduce pertinent page one of Plaintiff’s exhibit No. 3, the policy of the Peerless Life Insurance Company. Except for the color of the ink, its reproduction speaks for itself. The warning, “THIS IS A LIMITED POLICY READ IT CAREFULLY” is in red ink, the color of the “border design.”
