Life Insurance.

Among the many sound and reliable
Life Insurance Companies that are repre-
sented in this State, none surpass the
Washington Life of New York in charac-
ter of assets, as the invested interest
bearing assets Of tho Company, material
" exceed its liabilities. The Company
holds itself responsible for the payment
Of its policies even if the premiums be
unpaid, provided the cash value of all
dividends to the credit Of such policies
are sufficient to pay the premiums to tho
date Of the parties death. THIS feature
Is peculiar to this Company, AID is being
appreciated by the iusuring public. Tho
Washington Life Insurance Company
does not claim to be the largest company
in the world.
Does not claim to have done the largest
business in any one year.

But the WASHINGTON LIFE does
claim to furnish undoubted security

FEW days since we dropped in to sec our
old time friends, the Densmore Brothers Of
Red Wing, and found them q usual making
things lively around their Machine Shops. A
strsu around the premises sosn convinced u
that the fire which burned them out ON the

fit to Red Wing in the shape Of much more ex-
tensive buildings and machinery than before.
The citizens Of Red Wing, with their character
istic liberality and foresight, raised bonus Of
