Assets, fi>4,70-2,058, nearly double thai of any other Co»-pany. Because it is the most popular Company. Its policy holders number over 100,000. Becawse every dollar of the nlvrru imiBMiM sum brtmiys lotnepolicy hauler*, ami the Stir* plus over what is actually required, is an. ntially divided amongst tliem, which snrnlita may lie applied in either of two ways: First, to pay a portion of the annual premium, thus materially redueinsr the cost, or it may b« used to purchusf adililioiinl insurance. In the latter way forty.ei^rht ixdicv holders of the year just past, holding policies, the face 'vhliie of whicn was PI33,500, were carried foi an avevape term of :13 yours at low rates, and the addition* brought tlte snuir sum of a liitle ov«»r $:ioo,<XM>. Many of these policies Imd been self sustaining lor "years. . Because tlie rates ef every other Company are nearly eighteen p«r cent.' higher thaa those of the Mutual Life. Because Ita rraaiir expenses are 'ower than any other. Tlie sworn statements of the Kquitable Life Assurance of New York, M |<ompany several inillioiis less than half as large as tbe Mutual Life, show it* expenses uf manage, ment to have averaged 14.21 <iuring the Inat three years, those of the Mntual Life 7 8 the difference of first cost of policy, and manage­ ment expenses alone, are equal to 89 per cent in favor of the Mutual Life. Becanse it can and docs afford the cheapest, safest an«l most satisfactory insurance invest­ ment of any Company te the world. As it will be impossible for me to sec al! who are desirous of obtaining Life insurance at actual txttt, j wiir say lo such that a postal • card will always reutli me at this place an<t on receipt of same 1 will forward dtflfermt pl-ins and actual results (not estimates) whick are certainly astonishing and out do anything in the history of Life Insurance.
