The Anchor Life insurance Company
Of New Jersey.
The above named company has assumed An
importance and permanency in our city enti-
Ting 1t to the confidence and he arty support OF
All our citizens, and some reference to it and
lts operations will doubtless interest our re alers
The charter of this company differs i'm one
very important feature from the charters OF
most other companies doing business in this
city and elsewhere throus hout the country.
In the great majority of cases the life compa-
mes either by the terms OF their charters or by
me provisions OF the Insurance laws granting
the charters, are compelled to invest their
premium receipts within restricted and pre-
scribed limits.
The Anchor, by the terms of IT'D charter. is au-
thorlzed 10 invest its assets in auv locality, AMI
u on any class # permanent &C safe securities.
Ihis Is n most important privilege when the VAST
sums annually paid for life insurance il consii-
eEed. This sum nov constantly flowing int the
insurance centers OF New York. Pennsylvania
New Jersey, and the Eastern States amounts TO
more than So 600 per annum.
This, in connection with other similar money
upon country at large. IL Is, which
renders money so abundant at thc great finan-
ciai cent? rs that il is quite If not ato gether i'm.
possible to obtain a NIT per cent. Interest on
permanent loans, while in the localities where
low rate.
Hence, while the people fully realize the
wisdom, benefits, and security OF Lie Insurance
as science, they are caused to feel more and
more keen!y each succeeding year, the injustice
OF this vast drain upon the mOneyed Cir culation
OF their communities, incident to its practice
and application.
The Anchor amply meets the wants of its
Tolicy-holders in this relation, by adopting a
syste IN warranted by her charter, and under
which large portion OF the premig IN receipts
are p rmanently invested in the localities where
they are paid.
This is no mere profession of the COMPANY.
but well-settled feature of its business policy.
That ample security may be thrown around
tbese trust funds, the Company appoint Local
Boards of Trustees or Directors in convenient
districts, and the loans are made under the ad-
wee or and through these Local Boards.
This system secures at once safety to the Com
pany, and to the community all the benefits of
Local and Home Company.

House, Janauscheks performance of " Mary
