The MISSOURI VALLEY LIFE INSURANCE.
CoMpANY.-We have been the firm and
steadfast friend of the Missouri Valley
Life Insurance Company, of this city,
ever since its organization, believing
that those who had its management in
charge understood well their business.
Last evening the examination of this
company, made by the Insurance De-
partment of the State of Missouri, was
completed, and we are glad to know that
the result Of this most rigid examination
veri6es what we have always believed,
that the Missouri Valley Life Insurance
Company is one of the strongest in the
land. This makes two examinations

of this company by different insurance
departments during the last month, and
with highly fatteriDg results in both in
stances. We predict for this company,
that has Just passed such rigid eXamina-
ton byth best actuaries of this coun-
try, brilliant future. 1t is the com
pany above all others las it is the only
company Of the kind in the STATED, that
should receive the patronage of our citi-
zens. IT is also the only company in the
world that makes dividends on basis
of loaning its money at, twelve per cent.
per annum. We hold a policy in this
company, and advise all our friends to
20 and do likewise, and thus do justice
to themselves and families, and help
build up in our midst an institution
which shall become the pride of our
State, as it now is of the city.
