The Equitable Life Assurance Society,
12O Broadway. New York.

Persons about assure their lives will do well to
examine the application and policy offered them to
see if they filed with technical conditions, which
might in the end nvalidae the claims of their heirs
The Equitable Life Assurance Society invites a
comparison of the conditions contained in its appca
tion and policy, with tEose of other company in
the country, in order that intending assurers may
judge for themselves.
The public, although believing in the solvency OF
our leading companies and their ability to meet all
obligations, have in some cases become dissatisfied
with life assurance, from the disposition manifested
by some companies to contest their claims techn
cal and insufficient grounds, because of the advantage
they have the poicy-holder in the application
which he signed when the assurance taken.
To meet this objection, the Equitable issues poll
which after three years, is 1ncontestabe. If any
palpable fraud is attempted upon the Company, re-
sisance will be made to the payment of further pre-
miums, before the expiration of the three years, and
demand for the discontinuance of the policy will be
made while the poicy-holder is alive and able to de-
end his rights in person. rather than has been too
often the case, that company should continue to
ceive premiums for twenty thirty years, and only
in the event of death discover grounds upon which
the payment of the policy may be contested, and
when the whose life assured is unable to
defend the attack made upon his character and the
interests of his widow and children.
The Equitable meets the requirements of the public
by having fair contract in its application and policy
All the policies issued by the Society since its organ
ization, which have been three years in force,
now Indisputable Such policies in the event of the
decease of the assured, paid Immediately upon the
receipt at the Society's Office in New York of salts
factory proofs of DEATH without discount and without
the usual delay of sixty ninety days.
The appreciation of the public of the course taken
by the Equitable, is shown by the fact that for
ber of it has transacted larger amount of bus
ness than has been written by other company in
the world. The policies issued in 1881 amounted to
i600O0OO. This success has drawn upon the Society
attacks from those cOmDanieS which do
write an absolutely indisputable policy.
The Equitable has accumulation of S4,30S 5ilS9;
an income of s0S3 505S; and surplus of S99l5 1869;
and is prepared to write policies from one thousand
to fifty thousand dollars in amount, all the approv
ed forms.
