To such grand PROF ortions has the NORTHWEST
ERN MUTUAL LIFE TESURANCE COMPANY
grown that It's annual elections, and tbs puDshing
of It's annual reports, events which attract
tention In nearly every State Of the Union. And
since OF its principal agencies is located IN this
city, It Is quite natural that its numerous policy
holders here and throughout the state SHOULD LOOK
to the press here for some details ia reference to
instiiu' ion Of such magnitude.
We have before us synopsis Of the Annual Re
port of the Company. From this It. appears It has
over IS 0O0 policies in force with OF 80 900
When we consider the TACT that this Company has
little more than PASSED the first decade these re-
suits are truly astonishing. Kor does the wonder
diminish when it Is remembered that this organza-
ton had its orgin In cOmpal atvely new section of
county, ard In this brief space of time has grown
to be representative institution OF the land II IL
but another evidence OF Western enterprise and
that Its headquarters are located IN Milwaukee
should be matter of just pride e. its citizens
1t appears further from the report that Dotwith-
standing the stringency OF the money mars et and
a partial failure of crops In many ocallteS, 7Is1
policies were issued IN the year l87J covering in-
surance to the amount Of Sl6,594 e33 23 The re-
ceipts for the same time were s3,67e 3I00T. On his
amount 81 4Ce, 600 has been invested upon boni and
mortgage with real estate security at IL per cent
interest
1t is notable fact that Eastern people ap
preciatng the advantages offerei by this conn any,
one Of the older States and Zach one OF them has u
fine showing OF Insurance business with the "North
western" Particularly is this the case with Penn
sylvana, VIII ch makes the handsome showing Of
81, ,OC0,OO0 in risks taken during the past year.
The mc st ample oppor unities afforded policy
holders and the public generally by the manage
mebt OF the company to become acquainted with
its workings. Detailed statements are put forth
from time to time, in order To enghten to the fullest
extent all who take interest in insurance matters
in regard 70 he company's bus ness, and especially
that policy hOGers may know the grounds OF conf
dence they enjoy In the institution. Ii other simar
organizations chary of the informal on they i'm
part, 1t is the boast of the 'Northwesteru" chat it
invites the scrutiny into all pert ain
ing to its manag emeDt.
Inasmuch AS no one hasa lease Of life, AMI as 1t
becomes all to make provision for the family which
may be left In the event DEATH It is question of
vital Importance to those who insure to ascertain
what company has the most to pay dollar with
The exhibit Of the "Nortnwestern Is that great
capital is 30 admirably invested, and the Is
so ample, that should the time come that but four
mems, there would still De an abundance wherewlth
to pay their losses. Could anything speak more eiO-
quently in the management OF this company?
The old adsge that "no physician takes his own
prescription" probably contains much truth as
any OF its class OF sayings; but for 1t appears
to have been thoroughly disproved, for Immediately
after the last annual election the general and
special agents OF all this company took $3.50 900 OF
additional insurance on their own i've Cert My
no men ought to he more thoroughly informed as
to the staunchness OF the NOrthwestera" than they
and they show their faith by their WORKS.
The career OF the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE. COMPANY has been a spen-
seems to be still more fatteriug.
