The Union Mutual Life Insurance
Company.

In another column we present to our read
ers summary Of the business of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company of this
city. The comparison with the business
done the past year over its predecessor Is in
teresting. In 1890 there were 5,233 policies
issued. In 1889 there were 14.S73. The
gains in the various departments Of the COM
pany's business as exhibited by the tables
are worthy of notice and the inference is
that this is good company to invest In and
one thing above all others that should rec
ommend it is the fact of Its being a home
company. The comparative statement Of
the premium receipts for the years 1885 and
1900 shows the handsome increase of more
than one hundred thousand dollars In the
premium receipts during the past year has
exceeded by far the aggregate increase for
the preceding five years.
