TRUTH Is MIGHTYi!


II seekers after truth are disposed to examine into
facts and figures, they easily satisfy themselves
that the a a 81
Mutual Benefit Life ms. Co., Of New Jersey,
SAlIs not THE safest! Is not THE Cheapest!
1st-'Because its net Assets tde not) exceed those
OF any other Life ms. Co. In the United States" ~
2d-"Because it is (nOtl paying back to its mem
bers larger Dividends, and more Of them, than any
other Co. in the United States" is alleged by its
Agent.
~ "Con,parisons pW confirm these Tdcts.'
On the slst December, 1854, appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS tall CASH

The Benefit Co. had tgross assets 7,134,79O 90
$5,o42,Os7 90 only, being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes, with outstanding habil-
iy on Policies in force Of 1884 o. or nearly as
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co. * t.,Ts
The expenses Of the Benefit Co. in 1854 were,

The Cash Receipts of the Manual Life Co. being

and its expenses only s. ..t.... b. $3.50, 105 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its ASSETS in
the same ratio as 1t Liability cannot be considered

The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates are higher, and the Dividends much
less. ,,.a''.,f.,.,r. ..,,s.isJ.. g.s s.,ss e5d
For instance, at the age of s5 for $1OOo on the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. it viii cost S57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only s51 81
being Sc 20 less with the same difference Of Rate as
to other ages. ssajhsiga T9dio Fnam bns SOD
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 30 per cent. The Policies Of the Matadl
Life Co.are consistently Increasing in amount, and
always have a Cash value on surrender. While
those Of the Benefit Co. do not increase and have no
such value, unless the premiums are paid up in cash.
