Because it isfll lie largest Company in th* world. Assets, *91,702,858, nearly double that of any other Company. Becausejt Is the moat popular Company, its policyholders number over 100,000. Because every dollar of the above immense sum belongs to the policy Iwtders, an<l the .sur­ plus over what is actually required, is an> nually divided amongst tliem, which surplus may lie applied in either of two ways: First, S to pay a portion of the annual premium, thus ' materially reducing the cost, or it may be i used to purchase additional insurance. In the latter way forty-eight policy holders of the year just pnst, holding policies, the face' value of which was *133,500, were carried foi' an average term of 33 years at low rates, and the additions brought the snug sum of a little over $3(H),000. Many of these policies had been fcelf sustaining lor years. Because the rate's ef every other Companv are nearly eighteen! per cent, higher thai) those of the Mutual Life. Because Its running expense* »re 'oner than any other. Tne sworn statements of the Equitable; Life Assurance of New York, a (company several millions less than half as large as the' Mutual Life, show its expenses uf manage­ ment to have averaged 14.23 during the lasts three years, those of the Mutual Lite 7.8 tKe 5 dillerence of llrst cost of policy, and manage-; ment expenses alone, nrecqnal to 25 per cent: in favor of the Mutual Life.

As it will be impossible for me to see all who are; desirous of obtaining Life insurance at actual cont, 1 will say to sucli that a postal card will always reach me at this place and on receipt of same I will forward different J pliins and actual results (not estimates) which are certainly astonishing and out do anything in the history ot Life Insurance.
