UNION MUTUAL.
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
PORTLAND, MAINE.
PORTLAND, MAINE.
JOHN E. Dewitt, President.

The reasons why you-a resident of Maine
should insure in this company in preference to any
other are obvious.
1T Is A MAINE INSTITUTION. Its business is
conducted and its policies are framed according to
the laws of Maine, to which you have access, and in
The LAWS or THE STATE REGARDTNa 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
erai laws, and fewer stiil the insurance laws Of
other States; and you may discover, when you come
70 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
disposition of your policy oriyour rights underi it, it
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 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 by
reason of failure to pay any subsequent premium.
Such policies are continued in force for their full
amount until the policyholders has received in
such continued insurance the value { the payment
he has msde.
EVERY POLICY ISSUED BY THE UNION
MUTUAL Is SU BJECT TO THIS LAW. It's prac-
tioal working is shown by this illustration: Ii
person aged 30, pays three premiums 25 year
endowment policy, and tails to pay the fourth pre-
MUM, the policy by virtue of this law and entirely
independea of any action violation of the COM
pany, will continur In force vs 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 MUFU-
AL is BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS ALMOST
WHOLLY COMPOSED OF WELL-KNOWN AND
PROMINENT CITIZENS OF YOUR OWN STATE.
Their names are a guaranty of an honest, faithful
and efficient conduct of its affairs. The vaue of
your insurance depends entirely upon the certain
ty that company will carry out its contracts fairly
reasonably and prompty and, in this respect, your
personal knowledge of the character and standing
of the persons who control it is 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 or INSURANCE.
The results of his examination stated in detail
IN bis annual report which you 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.
L. therefore, the Union Mutual possessed no ad-
vantages peculiar to itself, as distinguished from
other companies, 1t would be to your advantage to
insure In it, 1t is certainly very much when you
consider the many inducements it presents in ad-
dtion to these considerations.
