The Nor,hycsteru Mutual

IL tho strongest OF the i've great mutual compa-
MES of this country. shown by the ratio OF sur
plus to liabilities, and has steadily Increased lle
surplus since lS.U
Tho policies of tho Northwestern Mutual cost
much less than similar policies Issued by any
other company. While. as q matter OF pfecau-
ton and safety, tho usual premiums are charged
the dividends have been for tho past thirteen
years, aud are now. larger than in any olheI
company aud nearly or quite double those OF
many OF the prominent ones. Annually Tor inc
past sixteen years tho dvidends Of the North
western Mutual have boon published In detail
for comparison with those OF other companies.
II il tho only company that does this Ihou-
sands OF comparisons showing the cost OF similar
policies In different companies lave also been
published, showing the most favorable results
ior the Northwestern. II any one doubts this he
has but TO write for ample proof. which VIII be
promptly and cheerfully furnished.
The business Of the Northwestern Mutual Is
confined 10 the northern United States, and its
acceptance OF RISKS is carefully guarded. AS a
result Of this care in placing business upon the
books of the company an astonishing result has
become apparent: For the past ten years the
mortality Of the Northwestern has boon less
than in any other large company. For 1884 tho
death losses were but 095 per cent. of the mean
amount insured; in 1885,, but O.96 per cent; and
in 1856. but 0S2 per cent. This is mortality re-
suit heretofore unheerd OF in the history OF
American life insurance In n company OF the age
and size Of tho Northwestern. The lowest NOR
tality and the highest interest income can have
bat one result: The cheapest, best and safest
policies.
