If You Will Lay Aside
Your Prejudice

AND COME to us with a desire to
learn why it is not to your interest to
carry high priced insurance, and how we
can furnish you just as safe insurance
for at least 40per cent. year less than the
other costs, we are sure we can show you
to your satisfaction that the MUTUAL

TION of New York does business on a
plan that is absolutely safe, and will pro-
tect your loved ones even better than
they now are, at even a greater cost to
to you. Of course if you are too preju-
diced to investigate and imagine that the
high price you are now paying makes
your insurance better or safer, or better
than it would be at less cost, we can't do
anything for you but will be forced to
let you 90 on until time, the crucial
tester, convinces you, against your will,
that you have been deceived.

The first performance of the ANA.

be observed that there is only 106

the Amazon represented the pro-

is equal to that of 100 average

could not move the corn cargo of
the Amazon five miles in six years.
