An Insurance Company for Americans.

The Prudential Insurance Company
OF America confines it's operations
within the boundaries of the United
States, contrary to the practice OF
most big American companies, which
have large business abroad. That is
not necessary to go abroad in order to
be emlnently successful is abundantly
clear from the record of The Pruden-
tial, especially that for the year 1908,
the figures for which have just been
published.
The Prudential wrote and placed
during the last year no less than 1898,
100000 new life insurance, an amount
which has never been equalled by any
other company when of the same age,
nor by The Prudential itself in any
former year. 1t has over five millions
of policies in force, and furnishes life
lncurance protection for more than
one million families.
The Prudential, it is proper to state
was the pioneer in the matter of
prompt payment of claims; it was the
forerunner of better times for the
thrifty industrial classes, and the pro-
digious success which it has now
achieved is a proof that its popularity
is well deserved. Write to the Home
Office of the Company, Newark, N. J.
for the information concerning its
policies, which furnish guaranteed
protection to the family as we'll as
dividends to the policyholder.
