And, as the figures show, "abundantly has their faith been justified". For the seed planted 52 years ago was the germinal idea of . mutuality applied to life insurance in Canada--Iife insurance at cost, as a scientifically organized service of man to man. To-day a mighty oak shelters the homes of over 80,000 policyholders with $228,000,000 of insurance in the Mutual Life of Canada, The Count by Decades The growth of the Mutual Life of Canada to a place among the strongest:insurance companies in the world began in 1869, without other assets or capital than faith in the Mutual principle.
