A Bad Record,

and Good One. According to late paper,
700 banks have failed in the United States
in the past four months. Not a single old
line Mutual Life Insurance Company has
ever failed, that l can find any record of.
Quite a comparison, isn't it? Many people
all over the country have drawn their money
from, Savings Banks, and are investing in
good endowment insurance. And why
shouldn't they? On the experience of the
past 20 years or more, nearly all good COM
panes have paid nearly, if not quite the
same rates of interest realized from Savings
Banks, on good investment policies
The company that | represent are writ
ing the shortest, simplest contract and also
giving the. largest values and more liberal
features than any other company in the
world, having paid in some instances as
high as per cent compound interest on their
endowment contracts. This is worthy of
your consideration and investigation, and if
you will take the trouble to look over care
fully the records Of all companies their finan-
cial standing, economical management, and
every feature that goes to make up a first-class
company, you will take a policy in this
company in preference to any other company
in the United States, await your pleasure
