Northwestern Mutual Life-Insurnnce
Company,

Phenomenal as has been the growth
of this company, whose thirty y-eighth an
nual report will be found in another
column, 1t has not been achieved at the
expense of the more important
considerations OF safety and a wise
conservatism. The application OF
sound principles, prudence, and care
has produced not only the most
favorable results. but Il has also attracted
the best class OF agents and applicants
and rendered the company popular with
that portion OF the community placing
its life-insurance with as much care and
forethouga as 1t gives to other business
matters of equal Importance and magni-
tude.
1t has always been a cardinal principle
in the administrati ton Of the affairs of
this company that every other considera-
ton should yield TO that OF security In
investment. This has resulted in a supe-
rior class OF assets. nothing OF
a speculative character having place
among them. OF the total assets.
represented by mortgage loans.
The bonds held by the company are
either United States. State, county, or
city bonds, amounting 10 SO. 655 2ol. The
company does not invest In railroad
bonds, stocks. or other corporate securi-
ties.
Prudent investments. at good rates OF
interest, combined with low death and
expense rates necessarily result In large
returns to policy-holders and account for
the universal satisfaction expressed by
Northwestern policy-holders with the re-
suits upon their policies. The first nfteen
year tontines issued by the COM
pany reach dividend settlement in 1896
and have proved so very satisfactory as
10 demonstrate the value of this form OF
insurance for investment purposes. They
show the same relative dividend supe-
riority over its leading compet titors as Is
found under other forms of policies and
cannot fail to attract the attention OF
large insurers. The company during the
past year has not only paid large
dividends to policy-holders, but has added
S2,s6S, lA.72 TO its surplus. The surplus
now amounts to $l65lS. .56l. .26.
