JOHN e. DEWITT, President.

The reasons why you-a resident of Maine
should insure in this company, in preference to any
other, obvious.
1T is A MAINE INSTITUTION. Its business is
conducted and its policies framed according to
the laws of Malne to which you have access and in
The LAWS OF THE STATE REGARDING IN
SURANCE ARE, IN A GREAT MANY CASES,
INTRICATE AND UNINTELLIGIBLE, to the eye
pany, YOU MAY FIND IT DIFFICULT TO AS
CERTAIN YOUR EXACT RIGHTS UNDER YOUR
oi poLioY: Few lawyers even, understand 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
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

disposition of your policy oryour rights under it, it
can be easily and speedily determined according to
laws and principles which yon 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 ARE MORE LIBERAL AND EQUITABLE
THAN THOSE OF ANY OTHER STATE. The
Maine Nonforfeture Law protects all policies from
Forfeiture after three premiums have been paid by
&c 2 IN rs o ter 9n
amount until the policy-holders has received in
such continued insurance the yalue the payment
he has made.
EVERY POLICY ISSUED BY THE UNION
MUTUALlS SUBJECT TO THIS LAW. Its prac-
tical working is shown by this illustration: If a
person, aged 35, 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 or violation of the
pany, will continur 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 COM POSED OF WELL-KNOWN AND
PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE.
Their names are guaranty of an honest, faithful
and efficient conduct of its affairs. The value of
Your insurance depends entirely upon the certain
ty chat 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.

in his annual report which you can easily consult

the endorsement of an official of whose character
capacity and fidelity you have personal knowledge.
If, therefore, the Union Mutual possessed ad-
vantages peculiar to itself, az distinguished from
other companies, it would be to your advantage to
insure in it. 1t is certainly very much when you
consider the many inducements it presents in ad-.
dition to these considerations.
