GOOD INvEsrNlENT-RevP p. IL. White
took out policy on his life Oct. ), 1854
for 1900, in the Mutual Life Insurance Co,
of n. Y. He having died, the company
have paid his policy July 20, as follows
Amount of Policy, $4,000
Dividend Addition, S0S.72
Making in all, with his share of the prof.
its, $2,308.72. He has had the benefits of
the insurance for fifteen years, and at his
death he received all his money back with
almost 5 per cent. compound interest in
addition, which was his share of the profits
it being just S25S.O7 more than the sum of
his payments; so we say it is good incest

same result to the policy holder.
