BE NOT DECEIVED
= TRUTH rs MIGHTY!


If seekers after truth are disposed to examine into
facts and figures, they can easily satisfy themselves
that the ~ t
Mutual Benefit Lifs ms. Co., of New Jersey,
Is not THE Safest Is not THE Cheapest!
1st-"Because its net Assets lido not) exceed those
OF any other Life Ins. Co. in the United States"
2d-"Because it Is tnot) paying back to Its mem-
beis larger Dividends, and more of them, than any
other Co. in the United States" as is alleged by its
Agent a-ai hiosi-li.a sis
SB- Companions soN confirm these facts"
On the sist December, 1884, as appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS (aU cdsh

The Benefit Co. had tgross assetsl 7,134,78O 90
5000 oS7 90 only being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes. with an outstanding liabil-
y on Policies in force of ss4 co. or nearly as
large as that Of the MUTUAL LIFE Co.
The expenses Of the Benefit Co in 1864 were,
i1i mi3s.s11s 3 l11u1ss Aifa l-s dli $27I 38T 90
while its Cash receipts we're only w si,715s7b 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mstuai LIFE Co. being
- ~ -no3 ai ss5iH3 'alta5 s2,e26,sO1 90
and its expenses only s.i3 se la8I q $256 105 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its Assets in
the same ratio as It Lia6ly, cannot be considered
the sqfest.
The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates are higher, and the Dividsnds mach
less. :.
For instance at the age of s5 for $1,000, on the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. it will cost S5T 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only @51 81
being SO 20 less, with the same difference Of Rate as
to other ages. ao Y4sh5s9 s4.A'.a'isA "H W
1.-THE DiDidends of the MUTUAL LIFE co. have
been nasre than Seventy per cent. on the Premiums
paid while those of the Benefit Co. have never been
more than so Ter cent The Policies OF the Mutual
LIFE %. are constantly Increasing in amount, and
always have Cash value on surrender. While
those Of the Benefit Co. do not increase and have no
such value unless the premiums paid up In cash.
Whichis Cheapest? judge ye.

Of the statements put forth by our neighbors; but If

To those who prefer the Ten Yearly payments,
no other Company presents such advantages; as this
gives more than compound interest for fhe money
