THE
EQUITABLE
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
100 BROADWAY. NEW YORK
THE

Persons about to assure their lives will
do well to examine the application and
policy offered them, to see if they are filled
with technical conditions, which might in
the end inyalidate the claims of their heirs
The Equitable Life Assurance society in
vites comparison of the conditions con-
tanned in its application 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 sol
vency of our leading companies and their
ability to meet all obligations, have in some
cases become dissatisfied with life assur-
ance, from the disposition manifested by
some companies to contest their claims on
technical and insufficient grounds, because
of the advantage they have over the policy
holder in the application which he signed
when the assurance was taken.
To meet this objection, the Equitable
issues u policy, which after three
years, is INcoNTEsrARLE, If any pal
pable fraud is attempted upon
the company resistance will be made to the
payment of further premiums, before the
EXPIRATION of the three years. and demand
or the discontinuance of the policy will be
made while the policy-hold or Is alive
and able to defend his rights in
person; rather than as has been
too often the case, that COM
pany should continue to receive premiums
for twentj or thirty years, and only in the
event of death discover grounds upon
which the paymcAt of the policy may be
contested, aud 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 by having q fair contract in its
application and policy, All the policies is.
sued by the Society since its organization,
which have been three years in force, are
now INDIsrurAULE, such policies in the
event of the decease of the assured are
paid immediately upon the 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 oftho public ofthe course
taken by the Equitable is shown by the
fact that for number Of years II has trans.
acted a larger amount Of business than has
been written by any other company in the
world. The policies issued in 1851 amounted
to Si6,0O0Ooo. This success has drawn
upon the society many attacks from those
companies which do not write an abso.
lutely indisputablc policy.
The Equitable has an accumulation of
$A,3os,5u.So; an income OF SIC, 0sS, sos As,
and surplus OF So,9l5, 1860, and is pre-.
pared TO write policies from one thousand
to tity thousand dollars in amount, ON all
the approved forms.
The Equitable originated and issues a
Tontine Savings Fund policy which may
run for 10, 10 or ~ years, at the end Of
which time the policy-holdcf will have the
following
OPTIONS
|. lie may surrender his policy an d
withdraw its full value In cash q. G. the
entire Reserve" and his full share of
profits.
.. lie may convert his assurance into A
paid.up policy.
3. Hemay draw his profits in cash and
continue his policy by paying his pre-.
miums as before.
4. Or he may buy an annuity with his
profits and use II with the annual diyi.
dends, In paying future premiums ON his
policy. t4
The profits which have been returned to
the holders Of these policies, cannot bo
equaled under amy, other form of assurance
