LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
E Q u T A B L E

Persons about to their lives will do we'll to
examine the application and policy offered them, to see
if they filed with technical conditions which might
in the end invahdate the claims of their heirs.
The Equitable Life Assurance Society invites a COM
and policy, with those Of any other company in the
country order that intending may Judge for
themselves.
The public. although believing in the solvency of our
leading companies and their ability to meet all obga-
tons, have in become dissatisfied With life
assurance. from the disposition manifested by
companies to contest their claims technical and
insufficient grounds because Of the advantage they
have the policy holder in the application which he
signed when the assurance was taken.
To meet this objection, the Equitable issues policy,
which after three years, Is 1NcoNTEsrABLE. If any
palpable fraud is attempted upon the Company resist
ance will be made to the payment of further premiums
before the e1piraonof the three years. and demand
for the discontinue Of the policy will be made while
the policy holder is alive and able to defend his rights
IN person. rather than been too often the case
that company should continue to receive premiums for
twenty thirty years. and only in the event CT death
discover grounds upon which the payment of the policy
may be contested and when the person whose fe was
assured is unable to defend the attack made upon his
character and the interests of his widow and chill
dren.
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 organza
ton, which have been three years in force are now
1ND1sPUrABLE such policies in the event the dece
of the assured paid Immediately upon the receipt at
the Socetys 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 number of
years has transacted larger amount of business than
has been written by any other company in the world

This has drawn upon the Society many attacks
from those companies which do not write an absolutely
ndisputable policy.
