BE NOT DECEIVED
,ss TRUTH is MIGHTY!! f

II seekers after truth are disposed to examine into
facts and figures they easily satisfy themselves
that the iiy 4af4sA to foA
Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co., Of New Jersey,
Is not THE Safest! Is not THE Cheapesty
1st-"Because its net Assets lido not) exceed those
OF any other Life Ins. Co. in the United States"
2d-"Because it is tnotl paying back to its mem
bers larger Dividends, and more of them, than any
other Co. In the United States, as is alleged by its
Agent.
~ Companions scM 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 tan cash.
~ s12,445,284 90
The Benefit Co. had (gross assets) 7,134,19O 90
s5,o42,Oa7 90 only, being Cash Assets the balance
being In Premium Notes. with an outstanding abil-
iy on Policies in force of 1854 co. or nearly as
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co. lu ~
The expenses of the Benefit Co In 1854 were,
s271, 1857 90
while its oass receipts were only a s1,715,s7b 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual life Co. being
sA bisd usnay9 s2,ee8,s01 90
and its expenses only 1ahr $25s, ,l05 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its assets in
the same ratio it Liability, cannot be considered
the SAFEST.
The Benefit Co. Is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates are higher, and the Dividends much
less. siAt 1E5
For instance, at the age of 49, for s10OO on the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. 1t viii cost s57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only s51 81
being Sc 20 tess with the same difference Of Rate as
to other ages. ffa-f-
.@The Diridends of the MUTUAL LIFE CO. have
been more than Seventy per cent. on the Premiums
raid while of tha Ranaff haxr< -.
more than so Ier cent. The Policies Of the Mutual
LIE Co. are constantly Increasing in amount, and
always have a Cash value on surrender. While
those of the BENEFIT Co. do not increase and have no
such vaue unless the premiums paid up In cash.
Which is Cheapest? judge ye. 6- e-.a,
We regret the necessity for thus showing the tasity
of the statements put forth by neighbors; but if
they still persist in thus deceivng the public can
furnish other facts of the ssame sort"
There are MANY REASONS for fnsuring with
THE GREAT {
Mutual life Insurance COnspGny
a4 Of New York, sm 81
Its Cash Assets being S1S, 500 900
Its Annual Income is more than S3,5OO.OOO
Its Net Increase in 1884 nearly $1,8OO,O 900
Its Surplus Dividends to Policy Holders last yrs
4 8 8 o o o o o o s5
Dividends are now declared annually and may be
applied in payment of Premiums, or to augment the
insurance as heretofore. 5000 Il
To those who prefer the Ten Yearly payments,
no other Company presents such advantages; this
gives more than compound interest for the money
paid. T.
The Policies are Non-Forfeifa BILE in the true
sense Of the term and can always be disposed Of to
the Company for their equitable value I'm Cash.
Many Policies taken out at this Agency have in
creased more than Fifty per cent. Of the sum
originally insured, numbers of our best citizens
can testify. gH sisfifu.lgie s's
