CITIZENS MUTUAL LIFE INSUR-
ANCE ASSOCIATION.


No,w outstanding the people at large are better
informed than ever upon the subject OF life insur-
ance, 1t lie probable that comparatively few who are
not experts or actuarles are aware OF tue fact that
tue average annual coat per annum OF life iusur-
ance for any man Of a given age is fixed and in-
variable. The tables known Az the Amerlcai Nor
talrty and Combined Experience Tables are the
basis upon which the schedules of rates OF all safe
life insurance systems are founded, therefore 1t
may he said that the cost OF insurance ,chich in
sutes Ia q certain quantity, and Il necessarily fol-
lows that insurance which Is offered for a less price
than this known cost does not insure, and In the
end will prove unsatisfactory and Il fallAcy.
Starting with the foregoing propositions, the
CiiiSens' Mutudi LUe Insurance iSSoci MON, OF
this city, offers by It's system safe and satisfactory
insurance. Evidence OF the soundncss OF the sys-
TEN offered by this association would seem TO he
found In the fact that after but twenty months ex-
~perience u remarkable srowth has been attained.
We are informed by the Officers OF the Z" Cltl-
zens' " that they commenced business about May /,
1885, and ON the 3lst OF December, lSs7, they had
over two thousand members In good standing and
over 81, 00O, ON insurance IN force. and the amount
OF ore mortuary call upon It's entire membership
is more than $40, 90
We learn that they paid promptly and in full
every approved death claim which has been pre-
scented, and they also show u handsome balance of
cash to the credit OF their Mortuary Fund.
Much OF this success IL doubtless owing to the
good management OF the directors and officers OF

favorably known In this community and whose
reputation 10 that Of successful and honorable

The American people learn BY experience. They
have been taught that in times OF prosperity 1t IL
wise to provide against adversely. That is UNI
doubtedly the reason why, with the revival OF bust
ness during the year 1857, II far greater interest was
taken in life Insurance. Instead OF being u luxury
1t has come to be regarded as n necessity TO provide
for an indemnity. The same IN true OF that COM
paratiyely new branch, or adjunct. of the business

so sharp that the many different companies
doing business vie with each other In
putting forth literary matter which first of all aims
to convince the public OF the great need Of Insur.
ing. This has served as a great educator, and at
present It liz estimated that upward OF one-third Of
the entire population Of the United States are d.

such moment cannot fail of proving interesting as
