WITH large surplus, securely invested
wv under the sanction and: approval OF the
Comptroller of Public Accounts, of the State
of Connecticut.
This company has also complied with the
very cautious and stringent laws OF this State,
in relation to foreign Insurance Companies
It was Incorporated by the Legislature of
the State of Connecticut, in May, 1850, with a
PERPETUAL CHARTER. and commenced busi-
ness on capital- of two hundred thousand
dollars; the whole of which has been invested
in securities of the highest character. s4s1
Those who contemplate making life insur-
ances should, first Of all, satisfy themselves
of the character and stability of the Company
they may select. The interest of the assured
in the stability and permanent prosperity of a
Company, in the security and certainty that 1T
will fulfill it's engagements, is of incompara-
blvs greater vinporttnce than the trafing saring
that may be made by paying inadequate pre-
miums.
The principles of Life Ins urance is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security, being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates of pre-
Emiums that can be adopted, and afford Fequis-
ite security to theiinsured, and perpetuity to
the institution l F8ElIy1J
