In times of trouble and disaster, when preten-
sions are being sifted and performances weigh
cd, solid merit comes to the front. Thus 1t is
that solid merit always wins in the long run;
for, 10 the rapid whirl and motion OF time, the
test Of trouble is sure TO come and try every
work OF what sort it is.
Just now the really meritorious life insurance
companies of the country are finding in the ex-
sting ''hard times" at least this compensation,
that their substantial claims 10 public con-
fdence and favor are being the better and more
widely recognized Mushroom companies are
going down; but life insurance is no less good,
and an indispensable good, than 1t has ever
been, and is being more aud more appreciated
as such. The public have been educated to
want il; the events OF the time are educating
them TO want 1t at It's best. Aud 30 the best COM
panies are coming to the front,
The best companies re those who fought the
early battles OF life insurance; and from tho
struggles and self-denals OF that fight acquired
strength OF character, steadiness OF purJ Jose and
| solidity Of texture. For years those who con-
trolled the fortunes Of our life insurance com.
panies toiled on patiently and faithfully, scrupu-
| lousy cautious in every venture and fearing at
! every untried step lest ii should prove depar-
| ture from the paths OF safety. Thus were the
/ foundations laid for that magnificent super
structure which is at once a building and u
growth, which is the work OF many hands and
| yet the development Of one principle-the super
structure Of American life insurance.
Prominent among those companies which bore
i an honorable part in the labor OF those early
/ days, was the Union Mutual Life Insurance Com
| pany and prominent among these in which the
| wonderful growth of the past decade has been
manifested most vigorously is the Union Mutual
| Life Insurance Company.
Its officers are men Of undoubted integrity /;
i men whose devotion to their business proceeds
/ from higher motives than that OF gain who feel
at all times the sacredness of their trust. and act
in the management Of the companys affairs and
the disbursement of its moneys with the sacred
ness Of that trust always before their eyes.
| 1t is no wonder that the company has succeed
| ed and continues to succeed. Its last annual
| statement shown uneXoeptiOnabe assets to the
value OF SO $50 6S4 and total liabilities inclusive
OF reserve at per cent, OF sc, 1876. 528 leaving
| for policy-heders clear surplus OF sos, ,O56.
No less than H. 528 policy-hOldera arc looking to
1t for the ultimate payment OF s39, SIG, $3.50.
The company has recently adopted a new form
OF policy, which ia unusually liberal, containing
substantially no restriction upon travel, resi-
dence or employment. Travel and residence are
permitted anywhere within the north temperate
zone, and only the especially hazardous oocupa-
tions (such as the manufacture or transportation
of explosives) are prohibited.
The premium rates of the Union Mutual" are
lower than those OF any other mutual company
and returns OF surplus are made annually after
the secoud year
| These features make the company as attractive
az it il honest, sound. and trustworthy in every
| particular. II has won and will keep, a proud
place among the honored few life companies in
which the faith OF our people will not be shaken
| This is the company which has just organized
hero local board Of directors, who will have
charge of it's interests in Schuylkill county and

| at the same time help develupe our own interests
