NEW INSURANCE CoNIPANY.-The|
North Pacific Mutual Life Association
is the name of new company which
was organized in Portland q month or
two ago. 1t sstrictly ahome company
and numbers among IFS officers some
of Portland's most solid men. 1t is a
well-known fact that the insurance
rates of the Eastern companies are out
rageously high, but it is designed by
this Association to offer to the public
facilities for life insurance at actual
cost. The plan offered by the Associa-
ton proposes that-say 1000 persons
of like or near age band themselves
together for mutual protection to their
families, and in case of death of any
one of their number each surviving
member shall in effect pay to the fam
lily of the deceased one dollar. This is
the only company whose workings can
be readily comprehended by the policy
holders, and for this simple reason we
think it will receive a hearty support.
Leighton Blain is agent at this place,
and any person wishing to inquire into
the workings of the Association can get
all desired information from him.
