About the Same.

Previous to the year 1905, the ex-
preston was common that "all life in
surance companies are about the
same" 1t was used alike by laymen
and agents of practically every COM
pany except the Mutual Benefit. The
laymen believed 1t to be true because
the agents had told them so. The
agents knew it was not, but in order
to keep the people fooled they must,
when they came in competition with
the Mutual Benefit, make the asser-
tion in order to keep the prospect from
looking before he leaped. Since the
Armstrong Committee lifted the lid In
New York in 1905 the laymen have
learned that "all life companies are
not about the same" and that the Mu-
tual Benefit is the only one that could
and did stand every test that could be
applied, and prove by its record that
it was in class by itself and did and
had always given each and every
member a square deal under all cir
cumstances. No better proof Of these
assertions, 1t seems, could be offered
than the fact that in 1906 its agents
wrote more business than during any
year Of the 81 1t had been in business,
while almost all Of the "just about the
same" companies wrote from 10 to rs
per cent. less. All I ask for Is a
look.

turn TO Hampton Roads last night and II
any misfortune has happened to the light

lay.

made the trip up the James river about a
month ago, he did not go as far as Mr..
Metcalf intended to- and did not reach
Hampton Roads on his return until 10
