HOPES TO MATERIALLY
INCREASE HER SAVINGS
Miss Bulger Praises the New Plan for
Making Small Savings Grow
and MuItipIy.
Wllmlngton. Del., July b

Wilmington, Del, July Is, 1903.
Dear Sir: In looking back over the
past find that have not realized fully
the great advantage to be derived from
the systematic saving Of small amounts.
About a year ago your Savings Bank De-
partment was fully explained TO me ana I
was induced to open an account with you.
At the end of the first three months /
found that had considerably more than
enough money to pay the first quarterly
premium in my policy, and the balance
was deposited with you bearing interest
at per cent. according to arrangements
made at the time the Savings Bank was
delivered to me. This amount always
stands to my credit, and can be drawn
at any time, but I hope that instead Of
drawing same. will be able to material
ly increase the amount each quarter. II
you desire to refer to me at any time IL
will afford me great pleasure to recon-
mend this method of saving.
Yours very truly.
Mary c. Bulger

Interest Realized.
The Financial Department of The Mu-
tual Life is under the supervision Of
thirE-six trustees who are men Of ma
tional reputation. The location in New
York affords special advantages for Sc
lecting securities. BY reason OF its OPP
portunities the company has obtained the
largest rate Of interest possible without
becoming speculative. 1t has realized $lA-
4S9,S7O from increased value of securities
over cost, and the market value of its
present holdings Is s25. .36S,9iO more than
their cost. These sums, added to the ac-
tual interest received, make the rate
realized a very high one.
The total receipts from. interest, rents
and profits, up to January /, 1908 were
$25S. S59. all of which has Injured to the
benefit of the policy-holders and of them
alone. This enormous sum almost equals
the death claims paid. In short. the COM
pany practically carries its risk by the
earnings Of its funds.
