II seekers after truth are disposed to examine INTO
facts and figures they can easily satisfy themselves
that the d7ansm aesd ,r3t g1L1tqn ~
Mutual Benefit Life ms. Co., Of New Jersey,
Is not THE Safest i, Is not THE CheapestI I.
1st-''Because its net Assets do nett exceed those
Of any other Life ms. Co. in the United States. ~
2d-"Because it is (nosl paying back to its menu
Deis larger Dividends, and more Of them, than any
other Co. in the United states as is alleged by Its
Agent. - 4. ees ".
sB comparisons scW confirm these facts" gsi
On the 3lst December, 1854 as appears by the Com
missioners Report the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS tau CASH d

The Benefit Co. had tgross assets)s 7,134,79O 90

being in Premium Notes, with an outstanding liabil-
ity Policies in force Of 1854 co. or nearly
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co. 4A
The expenses Of the Benefit Co. in 1864 were 2ili

while its Cash receipts were only S1,715,S75 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual Life Co. being =,

and its expenses only s9 $256,1O5 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its Assets in
the same ratio as it Liability, cannot be considered
the safest. YGt gdi lnave saW taff fslfts-4 a9
The Benefit Oo.is not the Cheapest for the reason
that Its Rates are higher, and the Dividends much
less. aL shit4af sta Fanff al9d4ua lttG .nTlg
For instance at the age of 35 for $780, on the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. it viii cost S51 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only S51 81
being So 20 9ess with the same difference of Rate as
to other ages. " ~
..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 been
more than 80 Per cent. The Policies of the Mutual
Life Co. are constantly Increasing in amount, and
always have Cash value surrender. While
those of the BENEFIT Co. do not increase and have no
such value unless the premiums paid up in cash.
We regretthe necessity for thus showing the fasity
of the statements put forth by our neghbors but II
they still persist in thus deceiying the public we can
furnish other facts Ofthe sssame SORT .it. W tfr

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. i iei -Asa ~
The Policies are Non-FOrfeitable in the true
sense of the term, and always be disposed Of to
the Company for their equitable value IN 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. 3 fs,s,, .s III Il Eatlf svIt45 -
