ter to the insurance Of lives, and granting annutes
and endowments, and now ranks among the strong
est and safest institutions in this country. The

insurng will share in these profits If the survive that
period.
The premiums are paid annually, sem-annualy,
or quarterly, If desired, and are as low as any
American company, and lower than the English,
with a participation in the profits. Policy holders
are secured by investments in bonds and mort
cages on real estate in the city of New York and
Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned there
on, and in stocks of the State and city Of New
