that the 3a4-.5

On the sist December, 1854 as appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS (aH CASH NJ |

The Benefit Co. had (gross ossetsl 7s1 34,79O 90

being in Premium Notes, with an outstanding liab-
ity on Policies in force Of $685. 1854 co. nearly
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co. rvs
The expenses ofthe Benefit Co. in 1864 were,
aIf l6 tn9s 8.a $271 1857 90 /
while its Cash receipts were only s1,715,s75 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual Life Co. being
fNMsElaC 1ls g ss,s28,so1 90
and its expenses only $25s,1O5 90
Amy Life Co. which does not incease It's Assets lin {
the ratio as 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. i iA A. assTi fGgsd straaa
For instance, at the age Of 81 for $1,000, on the 10
Jear plan, with the Benefit Co. it will cost ST 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only S51 81
being Sc 90 less, with the same difference Of Rate as
to other ages. e- a9"s
The Dividends Of the MUTUAL LIFE co. have
been more than Seventy per cent. on the Premiums
paid, while those of the Benefit Co. have never been
more than 80 yer cent The Policies OF the Mutual
LIE Go. are constantly Increasing in amount, and
always have Cash value on surrender. While
hose of the Benefit Co. do notincrease, and have
such value unless the premiums paid up in cash.

Of the statements put forth by nighbors; but If

Dividends are now declared Aaaaally and may be
applied in payment Of Premiams OF to augment the
insurance as heretofore Vl93 = 8444C~t -
To those who prefer the Ten Yearly payments,
40 other Company presents such advantages as this
ives more than compound interest for the money

The Policies are Non-Forfeitable in the true
ense Of the term and can always be disposed of to
he Company for their equitable value In Cash.
Many Policies taken out at this Agency have in
creased more than Fiffy per cent. Of the sum
originally insured, numbers OF our best citizens
IAN testify.
