YNHE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
- Company OF New York, No. 90 wall Vt.
Net amount Of accumulated premiums, S2l5.57l.
This company IS organized on the purely mutual
principle, and its business is restricted by the char.
ter to the insurance of hyes and granting annuities
and endowments
II commenced, without CAPT tai, on the LIST of Feb
ruary, 1898 Al the close ofits second year, (3lat
January, lo45, Il had issued 066 policies and It's
net accumulated premiums was S97, 27S. At the
termination Of the third year. on the 3lst January,
ls46 the whole number Of policies issued was l33
and It's net accumulated premiums, after paying ali
losses and expenses was s2l5, 57i; thus exhibiting
an increase during the last year Of 047 policies is-
sued, and sllS,27S of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly nugmenting by an annual income of $3.50, =
900, growing out Of original and renewed premiums
and interest on Investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
IN strong position, and il now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
tPolicy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits there being no proprietary interest or sub
sdibed capital to absorb any portion thereof An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends on the FIRST division Of profits on the LIST
of February, 1913, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits if they survive that period
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
as any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation in the profits Policy
holders are secured by investments in bonds AMI
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 l0n' 3 ",.. .r ."
The transactions Of this company are on the
cash principle-oonsequently 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. E1. 0, .aJ"s... ,.Ii... 4
Persons may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives Of others. married woman can insure
the life Of her husband, which will enure 10 her sole
use and that Of her children.
Pamphlets explanatory Of the principles OF
mutual life insurance, and illustrating it's advan-
tsges with forms of application, may be obtained at
