LIFE INSURANCE
'..'.r COMPANY.

THE progress of Life Insurance in the
Il United States proves this great CROWN
ing triumph of modern science aud philan-
throphy to be one of the marvellous features
Of our social economy. .aa, ~., f., s7
The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that con- pares with it. 1t is 80 manifestly
good, that it is difficult to see how an intelli-
gent man, with proper concern for the COM
fort aud 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
rifice of property if man die in debt. 1t is
subject to no tax during life, nor Orphans
Court expenses after death. 1t is exempt by
law from debt. 1t is rapidly becoming rule
that all men of just attributes insure.
Our Maryland Company commends itself
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 just
and careful supervision of its affairs. 1t must
be 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 and keep our capital at
home.
Had the five million dollars sent out Of the
State annually for insurance been invested
at home, it would have told fayorably upon
our own wealth and commerce. This is en-
phatically our conapony-gotten up by our
best merchants to afford the opportunity for
all to insure without sending the money out
of our own State The affairs of the compa-
ny are managed with economy. For two
years and a-half the President received no
compensation forshis 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 cooperation they have receiv
ed, and solicits 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-
ges of Life Insurance as an investment--the
uncertainty of life-the strong claims of wife
and children upon husband and father-is it
not the moral duty of every man to put
someth hing in form that will prevent want
and distress, or trouble on the part of those he
loves?
By all means insure, and do it at once in
the Maryland Company. The Officers of this
Company are:
GEO. P. THOMAS, President.
A. K. FORD, Secretary.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS:
Hamilton Easter, George H. Hilner,
