LIFE INSURANCE.
The advantage, and Benefits AccruinS
Therefrom.

II there is one thing above another
in this world that should command
the immediate attention of men it IS
the necessity of making adequate and
certain provision in case of death for
those who are dependent upon them
in life, and in no better way can this
be accomplished than by insuring in a
sound and. reliable company.
Life insurance is today receiving
unusual attention, especially by those
who have families dependent upon
them for support, and its benefits are
being continually realized. But in
this as we'll as in all other lines of
business some companies or associa-
tions become prominent ove others.
OF all the life insurance companies
doing business in Indiana the Tribune
knows of none in which more reliance
can be placed, or Of none that have
progressed as rapidly as the
UNION CENTRAL LIFE
Insurance Company, Of Cincinna-
I'll. Ohio. organized in 1867. The
| plan on which the Union Central is
conducted is the fair method by which
direct benefits can be derived by its
policy-holders. Its remarkably sue
cesSful career is due to its fair and
conservative plan of insurance and
prompt adjustment Of all claims made
upon it. Every valid claim made up
on the Union Central has been paid in
full. It's life rate endowment plans
have met with universal favor, and
have increased its business more rap.
idly than any other company in the
world. Its policies are incontestible
after three years, and can De contin-
ued after three years with extended
insurance for full amount. There is
freedom of travel and residence from
date Of issue; cash at maturity or
death for full amount Of the face of
the policy, or the entire reserve
and all profits at the end Of estimat-
ed time of maturity. or an annuity: or
a paid up policy with profits payable
annually in cash if the assured is in
good health, Or, il preferred, where
policy natures, one-half in cash and
paid-uy policy for the other half.
In short the strong points Of the
Union Central are, the very lowest
death rate among the old line COM
panies, its high interest rate, and a
conservative management upon all
vital points, hence dividends are the
very best paid by any Of the compan-
les. 1t issues endowment policies at
life rates and pays annual dividends
upon all participating life policies. 1t
pays two past maturity dividends up
ON all regular participating endow-
ments and two post-mortum divi-
dends upon all participating life poll
cies. No other company pays but
one and most of them pays none.
