LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY
100 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.

Persons about to assure their lives will do well
to examine the application and policy offered them,
to if they filed with technical conditions,
which might in the end invaidate the claims of
their heirs.
The Equitable Life Assurance Society invites
comparison of the conditions contained in its ap-
plication and policy with those of any other CON-
ers may judge for themselves.
The public, although believing in the solvency of
our leading companie. and their ability meet all
obligations have in some cases become dissatisfied
with life assurance from the disposition manifest
ed by some companies to contest their claims
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.
10 meet TINS OUltCtlou the EQuliDb issues n
policy, which after three years is INcoNrEsrABLR.
If any palpable fraud is attempted upon the com
pany resistance will be made to the payment of
three years, and demand for the discontinuance
of the policy will be made while the policy holder
is alive and able to defend his rights in person
rather than as has been too often the case that a
company should continue to receive 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 was assured is unable to defend the at
tack 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 organization which have been three years
in force are now lNDIsPUTABLE, such policies in
the event of the decease of the assured are paid
Immediately upon the receipt at the Society office
in New York of satisfactory proofs of death, with
out discount and without the usual delay of sixty
ninety days.
The appreciation of the public of the course tax
en- by the Equitable is shown by the fact that tor
a number of years it has transacted larger amount
of business than has been written by any other
company in the world The policies issued in 1851
amounted to s46 900, 600. This success has drawn
upon the Society many attacks from those compa-
MES which do not write absolutely indisputable
policy.
The Equitable has an accumulation of ga 3Os.-
54l.s9; an income of $40 Os3, sos 4s; and surplus
of So sl5 1876 So and is prepared to write policies
from thousand to fifty thousand dollars in
amount all the approved forms
