BE NOT DECEIVEDl
TRUTH is MIGHTY!!

If seekers after truth are disposed to examine into
facts and figures, they easily satisfy themselves
that the n6ds ef a,s 4. -l
Mutual Benefit Life ms Co., Of New Jersey,
Is not THE SAFEST! is not THE Cheapest
1st-"Because its net Assets lido mot) exceed those
OF any other Life Ins. Co. in the United States."
2d-"Because it is tnOt) 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.
70 Companions seM confirm these facts"
On the 3lst December 1864, as appears by the Com
missioners Report the Great MUTUAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS tail cashl
s12,445,264 90
The Benefit Co. had (gross assets) 7,134,79O 90
s5O42,oS7 90 only, being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes, with an q standing Iiabl-
ty on Policies in force Of OO or nearly as
large as that OF the MUTUAL LIFE Co.
The expenses of the Benefit Co in 1854 were.
" .''st S271 1857 90
while its Cash receipts were only s1,716, $50 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual Life Co. being
ta5l sae9s s2,628,sO1 90
and its expenses only ei $256,1O 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its assets in
the same ratio it Liability, cannot be considered
the sqtest
The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates higher, and the Dividends much
less. Iaf a3fg-ss i 4f rGM aa8
For instance, at the age of 35 for $1OOO ON the 10
year plan with the Benefit Co. it will cost S57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only s51 81
being SO 90 less with the same difference of Rate as
to other ages.
1.-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 5Of er cent. The Policies of the Matuay
Life Co. are constantly increasing in amount, and
always have Cash value on surrender. While
those of the Benefit Co. do not increase and have no
such value, unlessthe premiums are paid up in cash.
Which is Cheapest? judge We.
We regretthe necessity for thus showing the talsity
of the statements put forth by our neghbors but if
they still persist in thus deceiving tho public we can
furnish other facts Of the sssame sort" N Hn s.i,
There are MANY REASONS for insnring with
r M THE GREAT rs
Mutual Life Insurance Company
1l Of New York,
Its Cash assets being S13, 500 900
Its Annual Income IS more than So 500 COO
Its Net Increase in 1854 nearly $1,SO0,000
Its surplus Dividends to Policy Holders the last yrs
$3, Q Q O. Q o O.
Dividends are now declared Annuany and may be
applied in payment of Premiums, OF to augment the
insurance as heretofore. s5Aili-t ~ SItef
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.
The Policies are Nom-FOrfeitabIe in the true
sense of the term and can always be disposed of to
the Company for their equitable value Tn Cash.
Many Policies taken out at this Agency have in
creased more than Fifty per cent. Of the sum
originally insured, as numbers of our best citizens
can testify.
All needful information cheerfully given appli-
cation to
