This Company has $137 of assets for eve

You'd all contingencies. 1t is moreover a
purely mutual company, having not the in
cumbrance of guarantee capital to absorb a
large portion of the profits which should be
divided among the policy holders in the form
OF dividends. Many persons are not aware Of
the distinction between a purely mutual com
pany and one having a guarantee capital

such, will you please insert in your paper the

Wright; a copy of which was, or had been in
