There appears 10 be, in these days, an IN
creasing desire by the public tor things
that are permanent, substantial. and IN
every way reliable. This, as sIgn oil
The times, j. most encouraging. In on,
public buildings we zee ma-sIVeness anu
an extent OF Accommodation never Ihoogn'
of by our fathers (; in our bridges "'e-
graphic cables, immense railroad !ihes'
aud all internal improvements We ore
willing 10 sacrifice any considerations OF
present or doubtful advantage, Tor perma-
nence, security, and extended caPaoiity.
So too in regard TO our incorporated ~
sliiutions, We exhibit disposition to es-
tablish such bodies upon WIDE and secure
foundations. 10 abandon the idea oil nn'
merous small and comparatively 'rrespon'
sible companies, with limited capitals,
and 10 concentrate, as far as possible, NE
respons billy on which the public none
tsry interests NAV depend. The subst'-
tuition Of reliable and concentrated BANK
note system in the place OF that one
which allowed liitI- bank, in any little
town, TO send out notes OF very little val.
ne. any, here but a, home. and which
might become al any mOG!enI oil m value
anywhere, has been of the creates, pub
lie service. 4 national bank-note, issued
in Maine, is perfectly good in Florida,
and if the issuing bank caEIOl redeem H.,
the Treasury Department, at Washington
will.
So with Insurance and other companies
Of the kind. The mos, popular lie IN
surance company in America will doubt
less be the "Nanonal Life Insurance
Company Of he Uniled States" The
charter Of this Company is no, given by
any State Legislature, but by the United
States Congress. It is intended TO cover
in its operations ;he whole country. It's
capital, not Dependent, upon future con-
tingencies. is Gne million dollars, all paid
in. Is directors and managers are men
who stand at the head Of financial alialfs
in this country, Clarence II. Clark, Jay
Cooke, and others cf The very highest in
iegrity. There is nothing about tins
Company which shows any signs OF pos
sible weakness in its construction. 1t is
not necessary that lis business should in
crease, and lis affairs flourish, in order
that it may be reliable and competent 10
meet all losses end just demands. 1t is
so now Founded by men of wealth, liz
position is such al It's very Inauguration,
as few companies can hope TO reach after
years of successful existence. There is
no risk, no dependence on the futnre sue,
cess OF the Company for ones belief in
its character.
Besides this substantial foundation, the
National Life Insurance Company pre-
sents many inducements to those who
wish 10 make provision for The future OF
their families. lis rates are very low in
comparison with other companies. Its
policies are non.forfeiling. They are ne
gonable, but cannot be attached by the
creditors OF the insured. All It's promises
are definite and cerlsin-there is no
chance or dependence on future profits in
any of them. There is no unnecessary
restrictions in lis policies, and no extra
charges Of any kind.
Then, its plans are OF various and ad-
vantageous kinds. By one, party can
be insured in the ordinary method. BY
another, all Tive money received as PremI-
ums will be added 10 the amount OF the
policy and returned TO the heirs al the
death of the insured. BY the Endow-
men, Plan, the policies are payable to the
insured after the lapse Of stated term Of
wears, or TO his heirs whenever bis death
NAV occur.
BY the Income producing Plan rot on.
" will the family or heirs Of the insured
party receive the full amount of his poll
cy al his death, bul he will, himself, re-
ceive yearly income, after ten, fifteen
or more years. as may be agreed upon.
Therefore, il is easy 10 perceive that,
by uniting, in one Company, all advan,
,ages, boh Of plans Of insurance and OF
absolute security, arising from an i'm
meuse combination Of capital, the Nation
al Life Insurance Company gives every
promise Of being, trulo, The Lille lnsur-
shcp Company Of the nation. L. NJ.
