NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE CO
not only the boosted pride of this city but
of its 81, 600 members throughout the
try your correspondent included. Fathers
husbands and brothers of prudential
thoughtfulness point to their policies In
this substantial company and count the in
vestment just as safe and equally as good as
so much money deposited in the best
savings bank. Yes l add with thanks from
thousands of widows and orphans who have
received benz fits through its dispensatio2s,
it is much letter to hold a policy in this
company assured against all creditors than
to possess bank stocks, bonds or legacies
of any kind whatever. The very just laws
of our country gives the monies secured by
life policies to those who might otherwise
be left destitute. By this great blessing
many families have been saved from want
and made happy. The Northwestern Mu.
tual Life Insurance Company was organized
in the year 1858. At the close of the year
1865 it stood twentieth on the LIST doing bus
mess in the United States. 1t has steadily
gained by rapid growth until this company
now stands The eighth. June 1st. 1859 this
company had issued only 137 policies, June
LIST. 1860 it counted Ala, January lst 1872 its
policies in force numbered 81 349. During
the year 1871 the number of policies issued
were 5 662 covering insurance amounting to
S12,6 94, $50. The total income of the year
Just closed was So 772, sol SO of which 49,
l13, 545 81 wa received from premiums and
$3.50, Dos ,6S from interest from its invest
ments. 1t is very gratifying to its numer-
GUS members to learn that the interest mon
ey received exceeded the amount paid out for
losses by death of members nearly $50
600. The company has the past year
paid It's first mutual endowment pc icy ST.
333 80. 1t is worthy of note owing no
doubt TO the healthy location that the NOR
tuary record OF this company still continues
to fall short of that estimated in the premi-
UNI tables. The above statements show that
the management of the company and its
funds have been judiciOus. Their magniti-
cent building located on a well chosen cor
ner in this city erected by the officers in
charge is a iudicious and paying investment,
a worthy abiding place for the home of so
noble an institution. | am pleased to an
nounce that the officers have the confidence
they so richly deserve and have again been
reelected to their high and respOn, ib!e po-
sitions.
