LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.
JOHN e. DEWITT, President.

The reasons why you-a resident of Maine
should insure in this company in preference to any
I'll A MAINE INSTITUTION. Its business is
conducted and its policies framed according to
the laws of Maine to which you have access and in
The The LAWS l. V OF ri THE STATE REGARDfNG IN
SURANCE ARE, IN A GREAT MANY CASES,
INTRICATE AND UNINTELLIGIBLE to the av-
erage man If you insure in some other State COM
pany YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO AS
CERTAIN YOUR EXACT RIGHTS UNDER YOUR
POLICY Few layers even th the gen.
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 you
desired or anticipated.
THE INSURANCE LAWS OF MAINE ARE
FEW AND SIMPLE. You can easily obtain pre-
else information respecting their meaning and ef-
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
disposition of your policy your rights under it, it
be easily and speedily determined according to
laws and principles which You understand instead
of being governed and controlled by laws an de-
cisi ms Of which you have no knowledge.
THE INSURANCE LAWS OF YOUR OWN
STATE ARE MORE LIBERAL AND ECU TABLE
THAN THOSE OF ANY OTHER STATE. The
Maine Nonforfeiture Law protects all policies from
forfeiture, after three premiums have been paid by
reason Of failure to pay any SUBSEQUENT premium;
amount until the policy holders has received in
such con inued insurance the valne of the payment
he has made
EVERY POLICY ISSUED BY THE UNION
MUTUALIS SUBJECT TO THIS LAW. Its prac-
teal working is shown by this illustration: If
person, aged 49, pays three premiums Cd 20 ye r
endowment policy and tails to pay the fourth pre-
mium the policy by virtue of this law and entirely
independent of any action violition of the COM
pany will continue in force five years and 342 days
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 MUTU-
AL is BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALMOST
WHOLLY COMPOSED OF WELL~KNOWN AND
PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE.
Their names 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 who control it is of great Importance
and significance.
THE CONDITION OF THE UNION MUTUAL
AS TO ASSET LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL
STANDING is ANNUALLY INVESTIGATED BY
YOUR OWN COMMISSIONERS OF INSURANCE.
Tn results of his examination are stated in detail
in his annual report, which you can easily consult.
You have ther efore 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 adj
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 adj
dition to these considerations.
