that the 5gf, .T sfsIstif...f a,-
Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Co., Of New Jersey,
Is not THE Safest I! Is not THE Cheapest

On the Sist December, 1854, as appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great MUTUAL. LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS taz CASH 2,

The Benefit %. had tgross assets 7,134,79O 90
$5,O42,037 90 only, being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes. with an outstanding liabil-
ity Policies in force 1884 co. or nearly as
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co. +s~.s
The expenses ofthe Benefit Co in 1864 were,
s..4 ... s271, 1857 90
while its Cash receipts were only $1,715,S7b 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual life Co. being
Hs9a .ai e 3pis nah ss.eGe,sO1 90
and its expenses only se ad s25s1O5 90
Amy Life Co. which does not incease its Assets in
the ratio it Liability, cannot be considered
the safest. e ssii1e.d ssiffgYes si#a ,ff
The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates are higher, and the Dividends much
less.
For instance, at the age of 35 for S1OOO on the 10
year PLAN with the Benefit Co. it will cost s57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only p s51 81
being SO 20 tess with the same difference of Rate as
to other ages. '0i sf ssl9rUaa aaa4-oen
SThe Dividends of the MUTUAL LIFE CO. have
been more than Serenity per cent. on the PremiuHs
paid, while those of the Benefit Co. have never been
more than so per cent. The Policies OF the Mutual
Life Co. are constantly Increasing in amount and
always have a Cash value on surrender. While
those of the Beneft Co. do not increase and have no
such value, unless the premiums are paid up in cash
Which is Cheapest? judge ye. iseli sa-
We regret the necessity for thus showing the fasity
of the statements put forth by neighbors; but If
theystin persist in thus deceiying the public
furnish other facts of the s.same sort" ff

Dividends are now declared Aunuoly and may be
applied in payment of Premiums, or to augment the
insurance as heretofore. 3l0fae fuguo.I ID giQf
To those who prefer the Ten Yearly payments,
no other Company presents such advantages as this
gives more than compound interest for the money
paid. 4.554s q5. hssaf .ab sed ~ ~. 3
The Policies are eN0n-FOrfeitab1ei in the true
sense Of the term and can always be disposed of to
the Company for their equitable value in Cash. Z
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.
