conducted and its policies are framed according te
the laws OF Maine to which you have access. and In
respect to Which d ny you , are generally informed;
SURANCE ARE, IN A GREAT MANY CASES
INTRICATE AND DUNINTELLIGIBLE, to the av
erage man III you insure in some other State com
pany, YOU MAY FIND 1T DIFFICULT TO AS
CERTAIN YOUR EXACT RIGHTS UNDER YOUR
Foley. Few lawyers even, understand the gen
eral laws, and fewer still the insurance laws OF
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 easily obtain pre-
eise c information respecting their meaning and eff

disposition OF your policy orlyour rights underi 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-
cisions 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 policy-holders has received in
such continued insurance the value the payment
he has made.
UNION
MUTUAL is SUBJECT TO THIS LAW. It's prac-
tical working is shown by this illustration: ii a
person, aged 3b, pays three premiums 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 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 MJJTrJ-
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 value of
your insurance depends entirely upon the certain
ty that company will carry ont its contracts fairly
reasonably and promptly; and in this respect, your
personal knowledge of the character and standing
OF the persons who control it is of great Importance
and significance.

AS TO ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND FINANCIAL
STANDING is ANNUALLY INVESTIGATED BY
YOUR OWN COMMISSIONERS OF INSURANCE.
The 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
IT, 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 SO when Won
