Tn. Connecticut Mutual Life.

In Its thirty-nine years OF business the
Connecticut Mutual Lite Insurance Company
has received from its members, in premiums,
$l37 55S, ,47S.l7; ii has received for interest
on its invested funds and rents SAC, 72l ,Ol6 IA
and profit and loss $645,9l7; a grand total
OF $lS4 925,4ll.3!. This money has been
used as follows: Paid for death losses and en-
dowments, $54,O2l.457.23; surplus returned
to policy holders, $4l, 500, SOB 60; allowed up
On lapsed and surrendered policies, SIG, 49,
ls9 SO; expenses, ST., ,262, ,76s.s7; taxes, S.
l94,64l26; held in 'net assets" for reserve,
etc., $52,2I7, 7,65O.49; total, $ls4, 1925, All 81.
Such an exhibit furnishes the most conclusive
proof that prudently managed life insurance
has done and can do all that its promoters s
claim, to wit: furnish indubitable protection
| to the family against the money loss that
comes IN the death Of its head. And, in this
direction, this great Company has done its
| full share to prove, as the celebrated Profess
sor De Morgan once asserted, that "there is
nothing in the commercial world which ap-
proaches, even remotely, the security OF a
well-established lite Office" As the same
authority farther says: THE certainty is
the thing contracted for" And, JUST
| here, comes in the indisputabe
fact that the Connecticut Mutual
has not only fulfilled all these conditions in
the past, but the company remains in even
better position of guarantee to policy-holders
| for the time TO come. There is no need of
repeating here the trustworthy statements
made or figures given in the company's an
nual exhibit They tell their own story with
| definite and sufficient impressiveness. Let
| them be read and studied, and no one will be
i left in doubt as to the ability, honesty and
stability OF this old and honorable lie insur-
ance company, as regards its contracts with
those who entrust the guardianship OF their
| widows ard children to an eXecutorship SO
thoroughly tested and SO carefully and con-
scieniously administered.
