Over 1000 Satisfied Policy Holders in Arizona

There must be merit in the easiest selling policies on the market
When placed they insure satisfied pohcy-holders who are pleased to
continue as a part of, and a helping factor in the Company's further
development. The rapid growth of the Occidental and the present
financial strength of the Company testifes to this.
A FEW THINGS WE ARE DOING.
Sell you life insurance At the lowest rates possible and consistent with
absolute safety.
Write standard old line policies on a legal reserve basis
Loan your money, not only on YOU policy but OF other securities al
we'll
We have adopted the most conservative policy and are issuing clear
cut insurance onuac wherein EVERYTHING promised is guaranteed.
The Company have recently yolu ntariy avaled themselves oft h New

deposited with the Territorial Treasurer at Santa Fe for III additional and
PERMANENT security o its patrons. Every policy bears the certificate of
the Superintendent of nsuranc to this effect

ance in so far as instead of paying the insurance in n sum, they IA %
your beneficiary a monthly check for LIFE.

For an annual payment OF a specified amount the Occidental Life In
surance Company fnsures you for 81. 600 or MORE and guarantees that the
Company pays premiums for you if ever o are permanently and
totally disabled. OUR NEW WAY.
DIVIDEND PLAN.
For a n annual payment O about 25 per cen additional a mutual conn
pany will insure you for 1000 or lore and guarantee that the m val
ues shall be payable in cash., and thai some part-amount no guaranteed
% the overcharge will be returned to you as a dividend. THEIR OLD
WAY.
SHOULD APPEAL TO BUSINESS MEN.
What the Mail Order Houses of the easta are to the local merchant, the
FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANY is to the Home Company. The forme
receives money, which legimatey belongs to the home dealer, and is n

Is, or 20 years during your productive period to provide for your
self in your old age, YOU would not send it to a New York bank II
there was just as good a bank at home, would you? Why, then,
should you send your insurance premiums there when you can buy
the same policies here for less money? We are an insurance COM
pany of the people for the people.
Do you know that about s., 100000 annually leaves these Terri
tories in life insurance premiums alone, and that not a dollar OF tins
amount is invested in either Territory? Suppose we had ~$2,OOO,OOO
tC loan today to the Farmers, S%tockmen, Merchants and other repre-
sentative interests of the Territories at a reasonable rate of interest,
would it not only promote the individual, but the community inter
