The Travellers Insurance company
up to January l, 1902, had paid policy
holders claims amounting to S460S3,-
SGS.05, and will pay policy holders
this year between four and five million
dollars.
The Travellers ranks first for prompt
payment of claims. as an illustration
of this, the late John w. Sullivan
formerly of Pine Bluff held Trav-
elers life policy for $4,000. On Decem-
Der /, 1901, he died at Newport, Ark,
on December 13 Mrs. Sullivan notified
the company Of his death; on Decem.
Der %, Just ten days after, Mrs. Sulli-
van received draft fer the policy.
The Travellers issues all the stand
ard forms of guaranteed policies. and
issues them for about % per cent less
premium than is charged by other
standard companies writing business
in Pine Bluff The Travellers write a
fifteen payment policy for the same
rate as the mutual companies (sueh
as the New York life. Mutual Life,
Equitable and Massachusetts
charge for a mutual twenty
payment life policy. the saving
of five full years premiums and
getting through paying premiums to
the company in fifteen years instead
of twenty years means a great deal to
a policy-holder.
The line of policies written by the
Travellers include ten. fifteen and
twenty premium policies. per cent
gold bonds and endowment policies.
The endowment policies of the
Travellers operate in the same way as
putting money in q savings bank, the
policy holder is insured all the time
he is depositing premiums with the
company and in addition to the insllr-
ance, he receives interest on every
dollar he pays them.
Supposing a man is thirty years Of
age and takes a twenty year S10,G90
in the Travellers, if he dies before he
is fifty years old the company pays
his family S10,t00 in cash, but if he
lives to be fifty years old he himself
draws the $4,000 in cash. Should he
not want it all in cash the company
will pay him a cash dividend Of $4,-
920, and then at his death pay his
family 100000, making total of $14,
92O.
All policies of the Travellers are
written with the latest non-forfeitable
features, and if on account Of inabil-
ity to pay premium the insured does
not lose what he has already paid the
company To illustrate this on the
above twenty year endowment, should
insured pay, say, ten of the premiums,
the company would loan him without
any security, except tho nolicv, s2,74o,
or the company will keep him insur-
ed free for ten more years, when the
company will return in cash to the in
sured $39S0. o rnearly the entire pre-
miums paid the first ten years, in fact
the net cost of the insurance under
this option is less than $40 year for
the twenty years on $4,000 endow
ment policy.
If, however, the insured pays all the
twenty premiums and lives to be fifty
years of age when he collects the
policy he has had the benefit of twen-
ty years insurance for $4,000 at a net
profit to himself of $65.3S a year more
than his premium cost him.
A number of prominent business
men and bankers in Pine Bluff are
owners of this kind OF policy in the
Travellers.
If you intend to take life insurance.
you should investigate the contracts
of the Travellers. The agents of the
company will be glad to explain the
different kinds of insurance and quote
you the company's rates for the
amount and kind of insurance You
wish to carry.
The company writes policies for ST..
900 or more, the limit on one life is
$25,000.
All the values given for Travellers
policies are guaranteed; no estimate
about it. Everything the Travellers
agrees to do is plainly stated in the
contract. MORAL: INSURE IN THE
