12O Broadway, New York.

Persons about to assure their lives will do well to
examine the application and policy offered them, to
see if they filled with technical conditions, which
might in the end invadate the claims of their heirs
The Equitable Life Assurance Society invites a
comparison of the conditions contained appca-
ton 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 some become dissatisfied
with life assurance from the disposition manifested
by some companies to contest their claims echni
cal and insufficient grounds because of the advantage
they have over the poicy-holder 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 any
palpable fraud is attempted upon the Company, re-
sistance win be made to the payment of further
mums before the expiration of the three years. and
demand for the discontinuance of the policy will be
made While the policyhoder is alive and able to de-
fend his rights in person rather han 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 its application and policy
