BUSINESS MIN and
MEN OF AFFAIRS
Invest Because It Saves Capital,
Provides Credit and Secures
Business Associates

Men Of affairs whose minds are trained |
to decide important questions quickly,
are proverbially swift to discern any
points Of advantage in business propo-
sition, and the following reasons why |
they should insure in The Mutual Life
Insurance Company of New York are ad-
dressed to them with confidence in their
Judgment and discrimination.
All men are influenced by the force OF
example. If John Wanamaker, eX-Post
master General Of the United States of
America and one of its most successful
business men, deems it wise to carry s2,-
100000 Of life insurance; if Clement Stu
debaker, Of South Bend, Ind, as one of
many other sagacious men, thinks il a
safeguard to be insured for 100000; if
Albert 4. Pope, Of Boston, the great BIZ
cycle manufacturer, as another example
Of clear-headed business man. thinks
il safer 10 carry S255OOO, or if ]. X.
Whipple the well-known proprietor OF
Young's Hotel and Parker House, Bos-
ton, carries over $500, 900, should not such
examples of the immense Importance Of
life insurance as business necessity exert
marked influence upon the conduct Of
the other enterprising mercantile men of
this country
Thousands OF business men in America
to-day have all their capital embarked in
their business, and they must keep it in
tact and active If the business venture is
TO be successful. If the mead of the firm
or either one Of the partners is removed
by death, a forced winding up of the
business may result most disastrously to
all concerned. Unexpected and forced
settlements combined with shrnkage in
values OF merchandise and securities
would have wrought ruin to many pros
perous business concerns now in exist
ence, unless prevented by timely insur-
ance contracts in The Mutual Life. The
promptly paid policy OF the great COM
pany has often resulted in business left
intact and prosperous, to be successfully
carried on for the benefit of survivors.
and families suddenly deprived Of sup
port and protection have been placed
above the fear of want and suffering.
Any reputable business man who is
known TO be insured for a proper amount
in "The Mutual improves his credit in
the estimation OF the mercantile world.
His prudence in making such provision,
his Judgment in the selection Of the COM
pany, and the valuable safeguard afford
ed by such an adjunct to his capital all
speak eloquently TO the managers and
agents Of mercantile agencies who adjust
his Commercial rating" and commend
him to his fellow merchants as one who
wisely makes provision for every possible
future contingency.
At the present day a merchant without
life insurance is heavily handicapped
and only those whose physical condition
make it impossible can afford to be with
cut the protection provided by policy.
A policy in The Mutual Life is the
surest way 10 provide for the possible
withdrawal Of a deceased partners in
terest in a firm. Not few prosperous
and money-making concerns have been
compelled TO retire from business and
junior partners have been obliged to
practically commence business life over
again because Of the death of a senior
partner and the consequent withdrawal
Of Of his capital. Each partner should
be insured in favor Of the firm to the ex-
tent Of his interest in it. Let the pre-
miums be paid by the firm and charged
10 expense account in the same manner
as taxes or fire insurance. In case Of dis
solution of the firm each partner is en-
titled to the policy on his own life, and il

other interests.
The business man who insures in The
Mutual Life obtains all the benefits ac-
cruing from membership in a company
whose officers and trustees rank high
among the progressive business men of
America, and who, from their long SER
vice and devotion to the interests of The
Mutual Life OF New York, are entitled to
the confidence and respect Of every right
thinking and prudent man Of commercial
or financial affairs. As a consequence of
the well-directed efforts of the manage
ment, and the persistent work Of the
great corps Of agents throughout the civ
ilized world, it has attained the COM
manding position due to the largest and
best Of all the great life insurance COM
panies.
Its financial career is unparalleled in
the history OF business institutions, and
It's wonderful accumulation Of assets, the
contributions of thousands Of policy
holders, exceeds the capital Of the Bank
Of England, although that world-famous
institution has been in existence four
times as long.
It provides for each insured person in
its membership a means Of saving by
small or large sums which may be de-
posted through Herbert y. Fell, the
company's general agent, at S37 Market
street annually, semi-anngally, quar-
terly or monthly.
