is now by far the wealthiest company in the
world. 1t is conducted on the only principle
which time and experience has proved to be ul-
timately safe and trustworthy. Its assets are
not invested in fancy stocks or personal securi-
ties, but in bonds and mortgages on real estate,
being first lien on same, and thus placed beyond
the reach of any contingency.
The company, being purely mutual, divides its
whole profits annually among the assured, and
this dividend can be used in payment of premi-
ums or to purchase additional insurance, at the
option of the policy hoder.
