We respectfully invite you to In
sure your life in The Fidelity Mutu-
al Life Association, THIS is not an
untried institution. 1t is a Phila-
delphia company which began oper
ations in 1878, It's business mas
steadily increased with every year,
until, in 1895, it made a greater
gain in the State OF Pennsylvania
than any other life insurance COM
pany-excepting only three, any
one Of which is much older Our
business extends over forty states,
in each of which 1t Is under
the inspection of the lnsur-
ance Department. We have now in
force over sixty.dye millions Of in.
surance. The company has never
refused to pay an honest claim,
Our plan of business Is unique
We decline to do business on the
plan of the old line or legal reserve
companies, simply because that
plan makes 1t necessary to collect
eXhorbitant premiums, and falls to
furnish the best security to policy
holders. We will not do business
on the ordinary assessment plan,
because the premiums commonly
charged by such companies are too
low, and an increase Is sure to come
a few years later, The Fidelity
bases It rates on what insurance
has cost In the old companies for
the last century, and it collects
more money for premiums than any
company has ever yet legltmately
made use Of, This renders higher
premiums unnecessary and unjust
In this way we have saved to policy
holders, in the seventeen Of years
our history, several millions Of dol
lars,
We issue all desirable kinds of pol
lees, For straight h(e policy, we
charge about 30 per cent, less than
other companies, We sell a TWEEN.
