Net amount of accumulated premiums S9I5 ST.
This company Is organized on the purely mutual
principle and its business is restricted by the char
ter to the insurance Of lives and granting annuies
and endowments.
IL commenced, without CAPT tal on the LIST of Feb
ruary l643. At the close of its second year. (3lst
January lS45 it had issued 0s6 policies, and its
net accumulated premiums was S97 ,27S At the
termination Of the third year, on the 3lst January
1886, the whole number Of policies issued was 1873
and its net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, was s2l5, Sill thus exhibiting
an increase during the last year Of 047 policies is
sued, and sll6,27S of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augmenting by an annual income of $3.50
600, growing out Of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
m strong position, and 1t now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Polcy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits there being no proprietary interest or sub
scrlbed capital to absorb any portion thereof An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends on the first division Of profits on the ist
OF February, 1913, and persons now insuIing will
share in these profits if they survive that period
I The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
rs any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation in the profits Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city Of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon, and in stocks Of the State and city of New
York.
( The transactions Of this company are on the
cash principle-consequenty the survivors of par
ties insuring with it will not be subjected to the
heavy drawback Of accumulated premium notes;
reducing the benefit Of the assurance to small pit
lance.
Persons may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives Of others. carried woman can insure
the life Of her husband which will enure to her sole
use and that Of her children.
Pamphlets explanatory of the principIes IF
mutual life insurance, and illustrating its advan-
tages, with forms of application, may be obtained at
the office of the company, Sc Wall street. or of any
of the agents.
