vTNHE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE

Net amount OF accumulated premiums, S2l5, 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 annuites
and endowments.
1t commenced, without CAPT tai, on the LIST of Feb
ruary, l543. At the close Oft second year, (3lst
January, lS45, it had issued 0S6 policies and its
net accumulated premiums was s97 279. At the
termination of the third year, the 3st january,
1896 the whole number of policies issued was 2 l33
and its net accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, was s2l5 ST.; thus exhibiting
an increase during the last year Of 047 policies 10.
sued, and SIZE ,27S of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augmenting by an annual income of $780,
600, growing out Of original and renewed premiums
and interest on investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
in a strong position, and it now ranks among the
safest institutions In the country.
Policy-holders participate in the whole of the
profits, there being no proprietary interest or sub
scribed 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, 1S4S, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits if they survive that period
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low
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 princple--consequently 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
Persona may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives OF others A married woman can insure
the life of her husband, which will enure to her sole
use and that of her children.
Pamphlets explanatory Of the principles OF
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.
