TO THE CITIZENS OF IOWA:

The Iowa LIFE INSURANCE Com
PANY owes its existance to the convict
ion that Life Insurance should be
furnished ut less rates than have
heretofore been afforded.
The originators Of The Iowa Life
believed that the laboring classes, and
those in moderate circumstances, who
had been heretofore deprived Of the
benefits of Life Insurance by reason of
the enormous sums required to be paid
annually, as well as the rich, should
have an opportunity afforded
them to make suitable provision for
those depending upon them, without
taking all they could save from their
earnings to pay advance premiums"
They believe if the insurance could
be called upon for small sums at inter
walls, as they might be needed, TO pay
losses only, and fixed sum to defray
paying just share of losses "a they
occurred, that no person who could
pass the required medical examination
need be deprived of a Life Insurance
Policy on account of the cost.
At the present time there are two
Mutual Life Insurance companies
represented in this county upon the
same plan of Insurance the Centennial
of Burlington. And the Iowa Life Of
Keokuk. The latter was organized
March 3rd, 1874; has paid all losses
promptly and the number of policies
now issued at this date. Dec. 9th, 1875
are 600. And as 5000 policy holder
can not receive in either company
five thousand dollars until there are
five thousand paying members 1T will
be to your interest to insure in the
Iowa Life, which has double the mem
bership of any other Mutual Life
Insurance company in the State OF
Iowa.
I'd. After five thousand members
are enrolled, the cost upon death
dimiEishes in proportion to the num-
Borrower five thousand; that is tosay, IL
there were ten thousand members the
cost would be fifty cents instead Of one
dollar, and ii twenty thousand, TWEEN
ty-five cents, and SO on.
Sd. A 81, 5OOPolicy holder pays only
half as much upon the death of q
member as a 5000 Policy holder
which is right, because his insurance

SINCE our last issue there has been
an unexpected business change
in the transfer of the express
agency at this place from Mr..
S. u. Casad to Mr.. Geo. d. Evans, Jr.
We would have thought the express
company could have found some one
to do their Upton business without
going TO Clarence-but the matter is
probably explained in the fact that
Mr.. Evans has worked for them some
ten years and enjoyed not only the
greatest confidence of the company
but also personal acquaintance with
many Of its officers. He has also had
business interest here for some two
years, and intends, as we learn, to
give 1t his personal attention the
coming season. The route agent, who
was here making the transfer, informs
US that he found everything "as
straight as a string" in the hands OF
the retiring agent, Mr.. Casad.
