For several months the old,
line life insurance compares have
been publishing dividend com
parsons, each claiming that its
record is better than that Of any
competitor. So far the company
that has made the best showing
is the Northwestern Mutual Life
Of Milwaukee, and the officers of
that company say that no other
old-line life insurance company
can show such results as it can.
In order to give competing com-
panies the opportunity to make a
comparison, w. G. Phillips, the
general agent Of the Northwest
ern for Montana, furnishes the
following comparisons:

According to the report of the
auditor and treasurer Of Montana
for the year 1891, there was a
big increase in the business OF
the Northwestern during that
year. During 1891 the company
issued 26o policies in this state,
amounting to $1,o77,5oo, a gain
of 1876 per cent in the number OF
policies, and 1873 per cent. in the
amount Of insurance written in
1891, over the total number and
amount of insurance in force Dec.
81, 1890. Of all the life insur-
ance companies doing business in
Montana, the Northwestern
showed the greatest gain in the
number of policies written in
1901. The assets of the North
western are $48,S and
the surplus $7,891,7oo.55. Gen
eral Agent Phillips, whose office
is in the Montana National Bank
building, looks for a big increase
in the company's business during
1902.
