LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.
JOHN e. DeWIE'T, President.

The reasons why y0u-a resident of Maine
should insure in this company in preference to any
other are obvious.
IT Is MAINE INSTITUTION. Its business ia
conducted and its policies are framed according to
the laws of Maine to which you have access and in
The LAWS OF TIE STATE REGARDINg IN
SURANCE ARE, IN A GREAT MANY CASES
INTRICATE AND UNINTELLIGIBLE, to the av-
erage man. 1t you insure in some other State COM
pany, YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO AS
CERTAIN YOUR EXACT RIGHTS UNDER YOUR
iI pOIICY. Few lawyers even, understand the gem
other States; and you may discover, when YOU come
to the test that the actual position and results of
your insurance are quite different from what Won
desired or anticipated.
THE INSURANCE LAWS OF MAINE ARE
FEW AND SIMPLE. You can easily obtain pre-
else information respecting their meaning and eff
feet. You may be certain, therefore, if You insure
In the Union Mutual that you get exactly what
you WANT that if any question arises, regarding the
can be easily and speedily determined according to
laws and principles which you understand instead
Of being governed and controlled by laws and de-
cisi ms of which you have no knowledge.
THE INSURANCE LAWS OF YOUR OWN
STATE ST. ARR ARE MORE LIBERAL AND EQUITABLE
THAN THOSE OF ANY OTHER STATE, The
Maine Nonforfeiture Law protects all policies from
forfeiture, after three premiums have been paid bv
reason OF failure to pay any subsequent premium.
Such policies are continued in force for their full
amount until the policy-hoders has received in
such continued insurance the value the payment
he has made.
EVERY POLICY ISSUED BY THE TrNToN
MUTUAL is SUBJECT TO THIS LAW. It's prac-
tical working is shown by this illustration If a
person, aged 36, pays three premiums on a 25 year
endowment policy, and tails to pay the fourth pre-
MUM, the policy by virtue of this law and entirely
independent of any action violation of the COM
pany, will contnur in force five years and 342 ays
longer The extensions vary with the class of poll
cy and number of premiums paid, but are fixed by
law for each and every case.
THE MANAGEMENT OF THE UNION MJJTU-
AL is BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALMOST
WHOLLY COMPOSED OF WEIL-KNOWN AND
PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE.
Their names are a guaranty of an honest, faithful
and efficient conduct of its affairs. The value of
your insurance depends entirely upon the certain
ty that company will carry out its contracts fairly
reasonably and promptly; and in this respect, your
personal knowledge Of the character and standing
OF the persons who control it of great Importance
and significance.
THE CONDITION OF THE UNION MUTUAL
AS TO ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL
STANDING is ANNUALLY INVESTIGATED BY
YOUR OWN COMMISSIONERS OF INSURANCE.
The results Of his examination stated in detail
in his annual report, which you can easily consult.
You have therefore, in this regard the guaranty of
the endorsement OF an official of whose character,
capacity and fidelity you have personal knowledge.
If, therefore, the Union Mutual possessed no ad-
vantages peculiar to ITSELF as distinguished from
other companies, it would be to your advantage to
insure in it, 1t is certainly very much so when you
consider the many inducements it presents in ad-
dition to these considerations
