THK NEW YORK LIFE ASSURANCE CoMpAsx.-
This is the Oldest and wealthiest COMPANY Of the
State Of New York but one, according to tho Of
fetal reports. We call attention to the fundamen-
tal feature of age, assets and dividends, or return
premium, exhibited in its advertisement as the
consideration most worthy the attention of those
seeking an eligible company. It has been in opera
ton twenty-five years. accumulated over seven mil
lions OF assets, and declared dividend Of ifty Der
cent. to all its policy holders alike for each Of the
past three years. This is more simple and salts
factory than the practice Of some companies to
distribute the surplus in different proportions ac-
cordlng to the age of the policies, by which per
. cantage dividend cannot be declared, and no mem
Der can understand his particular interest III the
surplus, whether it is rightly or wrongly esti-
mated. t
The risks Of this company are especially well
selected and like thoseof others standing near it
IN age, comparatively low in proportion to assets,
the most obvious criterion Of sound condition
In payment Of premium it tenders the option Of
al cash Or credit for such portion, as approx
mates to its probable dividend s
It originated the highly acceptable plan Of Life
Potacles rot subject to JoJe4ture by two annual
premiums, and offers all form Of policy approx ed
by science and experience. ag3
It's President has held his Office for twenty wears
past, and the actuary been in its service for the
past seventeen, having therefore the peculiar emi-
nent advantage Of an experience for its officers,
almost tho same as that of the corporation.
Its business has been largest, where knowledge
and familiarity with the principles OF Life gov
erns, as well as the various forms of the system in
\ different corporations have been greatest, anI!
Practice and experience largest, in the large com
msrcial cities of the country.
We therefore recommend an attentive perusal Of
the advertisement. Agent, THOMAS FRosr, No. Sc
