THE progress, of Life Insurance 10 the >
l.. United States proves this great ctowu.-)G
ing triumph of modern scienceEands sphilan-
throphy to be one of the marvellous features
of our social economy. -. -.
The wisdom of all ages has devised nothing
that compares with it. 1t is 50 manifestly
good, that it is difficult to see how an intelii-
gent man, with proper concern for the COM .
fort and protection Of bis family, can.fail to
avail himself of its bene6ts.a5 7s9fas:an.s. :,
Life Insurance leaves ready. money to settle
estates to advantage. twill prevent a sac
rifce 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 becumjng a Inlg
that all men Of just attributes INSURE ID tLdk
Our Maryland Company conimends 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 a just !
and careful superyisqn 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. = fits e1ifa 3aer
Had the FIVE million dollars sent out of the
State annually for insurance been invested
at home, it would have told favnrably upon
our own wealth and commerce. This is en-
phatically oar company-got up, by our
best merchants to afford the opportunity fer
all to insure without sending the money out
of our own State. The affairs of the com pa.
ny are managed with economy For two
years and a-half the President received no .
compensation for his services. ~ : as1
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 receive
ed, and solicits continuance of the same.
Self-respect, State pride and interest, combine
to make this the company for u.s. ~ . - ~! n'
Now, dear sirs, in view of all the advanta-
ges of Life Insurance as an inyestment-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
something in a form that will prevent want
and distress, or trouble on the part Of those he
loves7 800 ~ o +.
