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

Persons about to their lives will do well to
examine the application and policy offered them, to
see ifthey filed with technical conditions which
might in the end nvalidate the claims their heirs
The Equitable Life Assurance Society invites a
comparison of the conditions contained in its appica-
tion and policy, with those of any 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 become dissatisfied
with life assurance, from the disposition manifested
by some companies to contest their claims techni
cal and insufficient grounds because of the advantage
they have the policy lo,der in the application
which he signed when the assurance taken.
To meet this objection, the Equitable issues poll
cy, which after three years, is Incontestable If
palpable fraud is attempted upon the Company, re-
sstance will be made to the payment of further
miums before the expiration of the three years, and
demand for the discontnuance of the policy will be
made while the poicyholder is alive and able to de-
fend his rights in 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 person 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 are
Indsputable. 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 or ninety days.
The appreciation of the public of the taken
by the Equitable, is shown by the fact that for
Der of years it has transacted larger amount of bus
than has been written by any other company in
the world The policies issued in 1881 amounted to
100000. This success has drawn upon the Society
many attacks from those companies which do not
write an absolutely indisputable policy.
The Equitable has accumulation of s4,30S 541 80;
income of SO and surplus of 1868;
and is prepared to write policies from thousand
to fifty thousand dollars in amount, all the approv
ed forms.
The Equitable originated and issues a Tontine Saw
ings Fund policy which may for TO- 10 20 years,
at the end of which time the policy holder will have
the following
l. He may surrender his policy and withdraw its
tHH value in cash Il. the entire Reserve, and his
full share of profits.
3 He may convert his assurance into paid-up pol
icy.
g. He may draw his profits in cash and continue his
policy by paying premiums as before.
A. Or he may buy annuity with his profits and
use it with the annual dividends, in paying future
premiums on his policy.
The profits which have been returned to the holders
of these policies equaled under any other
form of assurance.
Persons who considering whether they will as

vantages offered by this Society, requested to
communicate with the officers agents, who will
give such communications special attention.
