The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, since its organization in lS43,
has paid to its policy-holders $272,
48I ,S39.82. The wonderful growth
of the Company is due in large de-
gree to the freedom from restriction
and irksome conditions in the con-
tract and to the opportunities for in
vestment which are offered in addi-
ton TO indemnity in case of death.
The Mutual Life was the first to
practically undertake the simplifica-
tion of the insurance contract and
strip it Of verbiage in the mazes Of
which could be found innumerable
refugees against claims Of policy-hold-
ers who had, however unwittingly,
departed from the strict letter Of the
agreement. That this appealed pow
erfully to the popular taste Is evil
dent from the fact that in 1883 the
company wrote over $1O3,O0O,000 Of
new insurance.
