LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY

Persons about to assure their lives will
do well to examine the application and
policy offered them to see if they are filed
with technical conditions, which might in
the end invalidate tho claims Of their
heirs.
The Equitable Life Assurance Society
invites comparison of the conditions con-
tanned in its application and policy, with
those of any other company: in the coun-
try, 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, havs
in some cases become dissatisfied with life
assurance, from the disposition manifested
by some companies to contest their claims
on technical and insufficient grounds, be-
cause of the advantage they have over the
policyholder in the application which he
signed when the assurance was taken.
To meet this objection the Equitable
issues a policy, which after three years Is
ISCoNTEsTIBLE. If any palpable 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 for tho discon-
tinuance of the policy will be made while
the policy holder is alive and able to de-
fend his rights in person rather than, as
has been too often the case, that COM
pany should continue to receive premiums
for twenty or 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
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 organization
which have been three years in force, are
now INDIspUTABLE, such policies in the
event of the decease of the assured, are
paid Immediately upon tho receipt at the
Society," office in New York of satisfac-
tory proofs of death, without discount and
without the usua! delay of sixty or ninety
days.
The appreciation of the public Of the
course taken by the Equitable is shown by
the fact that for a number of years it has
transacted larger amount of business
than has been written by any other CON-
pany in the world. The policies issued in
1881 amounted to SAG, ,000,00 This sue
cess has drawn upon the Society many at.
tacks from those companies which do not
write an absolutely indisputable policy.
The Equitable has an accumulation OF
"a, 308, ,541 80 an income Of 81, ,0s3, $685.
4s, and surplus of 80, ,915, 400, 80; and is
prepared to writo policies from one
thousand to fifty thousand dollars in
amount, on all the approved forms.
The Equitable originated and issues
Tontine Savings Fund policy which may
run for ten, fifteen or twenty years, at the
end Of which time tho policy holder will
hova tho coIlou;on
OPTIONS:
l. He may surrender his policy and
withdraw its fill value in cash g. G. the
entire Reserve y and his full share of
profits.
2. He may convert his assurance into a
paid-up policy.
8. He may draw his profits in cash and
continue his policy by paying premiums as
before.
4. Or he may buy an annuity with his
profits and use it with the annual divid-
ends, in paying future premiums OH his
policy.
The profits which have been returned
to the holders Of these policies, cannot be
equaled under any other form of assur-
anoe.
Persons who are considering whether
they will assure their lives. and who may
desire additional information on the sub
jeot, or an explanation Of the advantages
offered by this society, are requested to
communicate with tho officers or agents
