A sSOcidttOH, NeW York:
DEAR SIR
take pleasure in acknowledging receipt
to-day OF your company's check, No. 1909
for 5000 handed me, by your General Man
ager, DIR. j. $. Osment, as full payment on
policy No. 1924. on the life of my late hus-
band, Henry A. McLemore. l desire also
to express my thanks for the prompt pay
ment in full OF this claim having been paid
me without any trouble or expense on my
part. and the courteous manner in which
have been treated, and the full and prompt
payment OF the claim, are thoroughly APP
preciated by me, and being paid to me be-
fore 1t is legally due, is strong proof of the
solidity OF the company, and evinces a de-
sire on the part of the company to meet its
obligations to its policy-holderS with
promptness and free from trouble or ex-
pense. | shall always take pleasure in rec
ommending the Mutual Reserve, of New
York, to my friends and those wishing
cheap, reliable and safe insurance in a
strong, safe and conservative company. My
husband carried about S30.0O0 life insurance,
none OF which he valued higher than the
Mutual Reserve, and subsequent events
have proved that this confidence was well
placed. ] hope your company will long
continue its beneficent work of providing
sonable that no man Is too poor to leave
his loved ones without protection, when
the sunset OF life shall come to him. Again
thanking you for your promptness, and

Yours truly,

If the late Henry McLemore had taken
an ordinary life policy in an old system
company, and paid the same amount in
premiums rs he paid in the Mutual Re.
serve, his heirs would only have received
R,I3 instead of 5000, a gain ofS2,277 in favor
of the Mutual Reserve,
GOOD AUTHORITY.
The above acknowledgement is good au
thority that u policy in the Mutual Re
serve Fund Life Association, Of y. Y, is the
best and cheapest life insurance that can bC
had, consistent with safety. The rates
OF the Mutual Reserve are much lower II
TACT, about one-half the rates of old system
companies ana is within the reach of mos
any man to insure; for instance, as an illus
tration:
Age 40 years, per $1,000 insurance, an
nuhl premium ...... .............- $l0,R
which amount can be paid b-monthly, tha
is every two months $2.5S, making an aver
age cost of $l2g per month. This seems t
US, is very low for safe insurance, and M
man should leave his wife and family un
protected when he can so easily provide TO
them. The Mutual Reserve Fund Life As
ISOLATION of New York, is the largest mutu
al premium company in the world. II ha
the largest reserve or emergency fund, thu
largest membership and largest volume o
business in force of any mutual premium
company in the world. The reserve fund 1
amply sufficient to guarantee the full pay
ment of all claims. 1t has built up its larg
volume of business in opposition to n larg
and powerful opposition, and has saved t
its policy-holders more than forty million
of dollars which they would have paid t
old system companies. A policy in thi
company is incontestable after three years
