The decision of the whole people is
both wise, potent, valuable, final.
Security is a paramount consideration
with prudent and sensible investors, and
no dividend jugglery can obscure this
fact.
The New York Life received the high

the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
The facts demonstrate that comparison
is impossible.

Final Life Insurance Comparisons.

More new policies were actually PAID
for in the New York Life in 1893 than
any other company ever issued in that or
any other year.
The matchless Accumulation Policies
of the New York Life contain no re-
s'rictions whatsoever.
The new policies actually paid for in
the New York Life were greater in 1893,
both in number and amount-than the
Northwestern of Milwaukee had in force
after thirty-one years of its existence.
