We are often asked how can the North.
western Mutual Life Insurance Company
pay larger dividends than other compa.
MES, on similar policies in the same com
muuity, anu stsll accumulate larger
surplus per 81 900 insured?'
We can only give three reasons.
We add the indisputable fact that we
do it,
We do pay larger dividends, hence we
do sell insurance at lower cost and we
have accumulated n larger surplus in
proportion to liabilities.
We expect to keep on doing it.
Cost depends on dividends.
Dividends depend CT savings.
Savings derend on management
That the Northwestern does save more
for its members, does pay larger divi.

than other companies, is the indisputabe
fact of to-day.
