ENDOWMENT INSURANCE.
Don't Have to Die to Win.

Don't Have to Die to Win.
| Col. j. T. Whitehead, who hal
been stopping at the Linden House
few days, as general manager fol
the Mutual Self Endowment and Be
nevolent Association, invited US up
to his rooms to examine the plan
of the association he represents and
| give our opinion of the merits OF
dement's it possessed.
Having little time we went up
and carefully examined Col. White
heads documents and endorse
ments concerning this new system
of life insurance, and believe from
what we have seen that it is based
on purely business principles.
The growth of this order has no
parallel in the history of life insu-
rance. 1t was regularly chartered
June 18th, 1881. The membership
now exceeds twenty thousand.
The object of this association is
to provide endowments for living as
well as death benefits for the fami-
lies of deceased members. 1t oper-
ates on the very reasonable proposi
tor that if any association can pay
TO the representative of a deceased
member at death-say $4,000, cal
culating the members expectancy
at 20 years, that it is just as easy
to pay one-fifth of the amount
in four years, one fifth in eight
years, and 50 on until the policy
is liquidated.
1t is no harder to pay the parts,
during life than the Wh0Le at death
and the Knights of Honor, Royal
Arcanum and Ancient Order of
United Workmen have abundantly
demonstrated that the whole can be
paid at death.
This association had collected on
assessments up to and inclusive of
August the 3Ist, 1885, Seven hun
drcd and eighty seven thousand, fve
hundred and eighty seven dollars and
sixty seven cents, aud paid matured
coupons to living members to the
amount of three hundred and forty
thousand, one hundred and tsoanty dot
lars, and loaned to members on
coupons yet to mature taOo hundred
and eighly seven Mousnd dollars.
This is a stride forward never
before attempted by any association
and that it can be demonstrated be-
yond doubt by figures.
We have seen some very strong
endorsements of this association by
the papers of Georgia, where it has
done large business, and especial
ly at and near the home office,
where it is best known. We there
fore bespeak for Col. Whitehead
that patient hearing his honorable
mission entities him to. He only
asks an investigation of the plan
and wants it distinctly understood
that he is not here to antagonize
any association or lodge doing bus
mess on the mutual plan. His com
pany is only grand co-worker in
the great and good cause in which
they are all engaged.
For the benefit of those who may
feel interested we copy few testi-
monials from the leading journals
of Texas near the home office.
Truly this association is accomplish
ing wonderful results, and every one
desiring the best and safest insurance
should attach themselves to it.-Hous-
ton Post, Friday July 3, 1885.
We feel proud that, among all its
other claims of excellence, our great
and growing city can claim the noblesi
and grandest institution of co opera
tive benevolence in the land. DO you
hold a membership in this association
If not, you should not delay to apply
tomorrow may be too late.-Fort
Worth Gazette, July 2, 1885.
1t is said that wonders never cease,r
but the fact is our establishment, al
ready excited by the wonderous re-
suits accomplished by the Mutual Self
Endowment and Benevolent Associa-
ton, OF Fort Worth, Texas, is increased
beyond our ability to express when we
are informed by its excellent secretary
that, in addition to the large amount OF
benefits paid out by the association, and
recently published in tie Herald, it
has paid to its living members in the
single month of June the astounding
sum OF 500, 500. This record which
will be found inanother column is ex-
ceptional. No other organization in
the land can make a like exhibit.
We feel proud of this Texas institu-
zion, now national in its organization,
and scattering lis benefits broadcast
Ger the land, and, as it so justly de-
serves, we hope our people and govern
ment will give it earnest and continued
support. We predict that the day is
not far distant when every Texan will
feel proud that the Mutual Self-Endow-
ment and Benevolent Association OF
America, one Of the grandest systems OF
benevolence in our land, had its origin
and largely received its patronage from
state. Do you belong to this associa.
ton? If not, we recommend you to at
tach yourself at once, If you can secure
admission.--Dallas Daily Herald. July
81 1885.
