M ARYLAND
LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

S'HE progress of Life Insurance in the
United States proves this great crown-
ing triumph of modern science and phian-
throphy to be one Of the marvellous features
If our social economy.
The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that compares with it. 1t is SO manifestly
good, that it is difficult to see how an inteli-
GENT man, with proper concern for the COM
tort and protection of his family, Can fail to
avail himself of its benefits.
Life Insurance leaves ready money to settle
estates to advantage. 1t will prevent sac
mice of property if a man die 10 debt. 1t is
subject to no tax during life, nor Orphans
Court expenses after death. 1t is exempt by
aw from debt 1t is rapidly becoming rule
that all men of just attributes insure.
Our Maryland Company commends itsell
to the confidence and patronage of our people
in all parts of the State. Its directors are
men of known integrity and ability, to whom,
the public may look with confidence for a just
and careful supervision of its affairs. 1t must
he clear to every thinking mind that, if we
would secure the largest prosperity to our
State and people individually, we must build
up our institutions aud keep our capital at
nome.
Had the five million dollars sent out of the
State annually for insurance been invested
1t home, it would have told favorably upon
,ur own wealth and commerce. This is en-
phatcally our compdny-gotten up by our
best merchants to afford the opportunity for
all to insure without sending the money out
# our own State. The affairs of the compa-
ny are managed with economy. For tw.
years and a-half the President received NJ
compensation for his services.
Such has been our marked success that we
were able after the second year to declare and
pay in cash as large dividend as the Oldest
and largest company in the United States
The Company feel greatly encouraged by the
patronage and co-operation they have receiv-
ed, and socits a continuance Of the same
Self-respect. State pride and interest, combine
to make this the company for US.
Now, dear sirs, in view Of all the advanta-
yes of Life Insurance as an investment-tht
uncertainty of life-the strong claims OF wife
and children upon husband and father-is ii
not the moral duty of every man to put
something in a form that will prevent wan,
and distress, or trouble on the part of those he
loves?
By all means insure. and do it at once il,

SOLUBLE
Capital, 1000. 000.)
PACIFIC GUANO,

THE VALUE OF THIS GUANO is now
l. so sceU kao,un and appreciated, that it does
not require further communication from US.
The Company o,ons the Guamo Islands, and
other sources Of supply from which its raw
material is drawn. Hence, this Guano, pos
sessing such high excellence, can be brought
into market at price not exceeding that Of
the ordinary Super Phosphates of Lime.
The large capital invested by this Company
affords the surest guarantee of the continued
excellence of their fertilizer, as the safety Of
their capital depends upon continued and
permanent business.
Experience has shown that this Guano rip
ems the Wheat crop from .tce to sic days ear
lier than the Super Phosphates.
1t is the policy and purpose Of the Company
to furnish the hest fertilizer that enterprise
and capital, aided by the best scientific abii-
ty, can bring into market, at the touest pos
sible cost to consumers.
