NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE ms.

tanned to the position of the largest
financial institution in the Northwest.
Its capital has reached in round num-
bers S2,0OO,OoO. This has been done
by system of business that was care
tul, yet energetic, and a studious adj
heFence to the principle of faithfulness
to its patrons. Perhaps no Life Com
