STOCK MIXED AND MUTUAL.
In A MUTUAL COMPANY, each person
insure becomes a member, has an equa
voice in the election of trustees, and is en-
titled to his proportionate share of ali the
funds and pr offs OF the Company, thus Civ
ing him the insurance at its actual cost with
out assuming any liability beyond that taken
in any Company, viz: the risk Of the premi-
ums actually paid 10. In short, he is a full
partner in the whole business with liability
limited TO the amount actually invested. The
trustees or managers being chosen bu the
policy holdsrs and from among them, have
no interests in the Company separate from
or in conflict with theirs, and therefore are
ia the best position, and most likely to do
even and exact justics to each and every
member in the settlement of losses, in the
restoration of lapse1 policies, in giving his
equitable portion to each one, Withdrawing
or falling to pay, and in keeping an adequate
reserve.
