The Continental Life Insurance Company
OF New York.

~
founded ON the harmony of divine order
and adapted to the conditions and wants of |
our daily existence.
1t has met agreat public need in fairness,
fulness and liberality, and the American
people have shown their ready appreciation
of excellence in bestowing their patronage
upon it to an extent that has placed it in
few years side by side with companies that
have been a quarter of century or more
in attaining to their present position. The
Continental Life commenced to issue poll
cies on the 10th of May, 1856, and on the
Both of September last it had 81, ,562 policies
in force, insuring $51, 1876, $500. 1t has
never been our duty to record more bril-
liant and benefcent success.
This rapid progress, wonderful and almost
incredible as it may appear, is the genuine
natural and healthful result of superior
system and healthful equitable administra-
tion of life insurance. The plans of the
Continental Life of New York, although
marked by judicious regard for economy
and safety, are framed in the most liberal
|
company none of those oppressive incum-
brances and drawbacks which impair the
value and usefulness Of the policies of other
life corporations. A policy in the Conti-
mental Life has many cardinal advantages
over others. Tt has an intrinsic, specific
value, being non forfeitable and incontesta-
BILE. 1t entities its holder to participate
fully in the entire profits of the company
distributed annually on the contribution
dividend plan--to voice in the elections
and management--to thirty days grace in
the payment Of premium, to q liberal loan of
335 per cent, if required, and to total ex-
emption from any charge for permission to
travel. These are few of the attractive
features among many others that have
brought this organization into general favor.
Its popularity is still increasing. 1t issued
during the year ending September 80, 1870,
no less than $3.50 new policies insuring
$19,084, ,29S. Notwithstanding this i'm
mense accession of new business and the
payment of handsome dividends to the in
sured, the most judicious care appears in
and the strictest economy in the conduct
of its affairs, and its percentage of expendi-
lures, including losses, is far below the av-
erage of other companies.
Those great triumphs of management are
attributable to a perfect system, and to it's
mastery administration by the company's
experienced and highly gifted president,
!, Justus Lawrence, ably seconded by it's
worthy vice-presdent, M. B. Wynkoop,
its faithful and talented secretary, j. P
Rogers, and board of directors distinguish
ed alike for their eminent standing and
practical business ability.
We cannot conclude this brief notice of
the Continental Life-of New York without
adverting to the primal excellence it pos
sesses of immutable stability. No mountain
is founded on firmer basis. Whoever en-
ters the ranks of it's policy holders may not
only rest assured that he and his heirs will
: be most equitably and literally dealt with,
but may also dismiss all misgiving from his
a mind as to the company's perpetuity and
the perfect safety of the funds intrusted
to its keeping. Its present assets, continu.
q ally and rapidly augmenting and invested
securely and profitably in National, State
4. and in other securities worth double the
:, amount for which they are held, now ex
IS ceed four million five hundred Thousand
dollars-suficient to pay all present, pros
|, pective and possible liabilities, and leave
y half million earned surplus to be returned
u as clear profit to the insured.
Placing such incontrovertible facts ant
q figures before him, we ask any husband o
is father can he entrust his savings for thos
he loves best and is most bound to protect
|, to any institution more worthy of his conf
g dence or more certain to repay it many fol,
y than the Continental Life of New York.
