THE
EQUITABLE
LuFE.ASsURANCE SOCIETY,
l2O Broadway, New York.

Persons about to assure their lives will
do well to examine the application and
policy offered them to sec II they are filled
with technical conditions which might In
the end invalidate the claims OF their heirs.
The Equitable Life-Assurance Society
invites a comparison OF the conditions con-
tanned in It's application and policy win
those OF any other company In the country,
in order that intending assurers may !uoge
for themselves.
The public, although believing in the
soycrcy OF our leading companies ana
their ability to meet all obligations, have IN
some cases become dissatisfied with Tic
assurance from the disposition manifested
by some companies to contest their Chains
on technical and insufficient grounds, BE-
cause Of the advantage they have over the
policy-holdcr in the application which nc
signed when the assurance was taken.
To meet this objection the Equitable
issues a policy, which after three years Is
rNcoNTEsIAyLE. II any palpable fraud is
attempted upon the company resistance
will he made TO the payment OF further
premiums before the expiration OF the
three wears, and a demand for the discon-
tinuance OF the policy will be made while
the policy-hoIder il alive and able to de-
fend his rights in person, rather than, as
has been too often the case, that company
should continue to receive premiums for
twenty or thirty years, and only in the
event OF death discover grounds upon
which the payment Of the policy may be
contested, and when the person whose life
was 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 ty having fair contract In its
application and policy. All the policies
issued by the Society since its organization
which have been three years In force are
now INDisPUTABLE. Such policies, in the
event OF the decease OF the assured, are
paid immediately upon tie receipt at the
Society's Office in New York OF satisfactory
proofs OF death, without discount, and
without the usual delay OF sixty or ninety
days.
The appreciation Of the public OF the
course taken by the Equitable is shown by
the fact that for q number OF years it has
transacted q larger amount OF business
than has been written by any other COM
pany in the world. The policies issued in
lsSi amounted to S46,000,000. This sue
cess has drawn upon the Society many
attacks from those companies which do
not write an absolutely indisputable policy,
The Equitable has an accumulation OF
"a, S1S, 541 SO, OH income of SIC, 0S3,505.4 AS
and surplus OF S9,015, 496. SO; and is pre-
pared TO write policies from one thousand
TO fifty thousand dollars in amount, on al
the approved forms.
