closed the contracts. This was done
without my knowledge. and do not look
upon the contract ss favorable to the

rec,ed the Quarisrmss,er, Captain Baxter,

quire the Qusrtermsster to purchase oil
the forage offered ut market price, until

M ARYLAND
LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY.

THE progress of Life Insurance in the
l. United States proves this great crown-
ing triumph of modern science and philan-
tbrophy to be one of the marvellous features
Of our social economy.
The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that con: pares with it. 1t is so manifestly
good, that it is difficult to see how an intelli-
gent man, with proper concern for the COM
tort 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
riice 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 AUST
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 favorably upon
our own wealth and commerce. This is en-
phatically our company-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 for bis 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 recelv-
ed, and solicits 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-s it
not the moral duty of every man to put
something in form that will prevent want
and distress, or trouble on the part of those be
loves?

the Maryland company. lne Oincers Vi ths
