THE END OF MAN
Company, Contract, Cost.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company Of Newark, N. j., is an old
company with traditions and ideals
and with vast experience. There Is no
hazard of ineXperience involved in be-
coming a member of such an institu-
ton So much for Security.
The second consideration Is the Con-
tract. 1t is almost an axiom that
Mutual Benefit policies contain special
and peculiar advantages not combined
in the policies Of other companies.
The final consideration is Cost. In
buying a suit of clothes, or any other
commodity, price is not the first con-
sideration. Price depends directly
upon quality. When you buy a suit
you look about until you see some
thing that satisfies yor. something that
is substantial something that will be
serviceable. Having found 1t you speak
of the cost.
The net cost of Mutual Benefit in
surance Is low by reason OF the econ
omy with which the Company is ad-
mnistered, it's low mortality and It's
profitable and stable investments.
If you insist on Quality, combined
with the lowest cost consistent with
absolute security, you will eventually
insure with the Mutual Benefit, the
Leading Annual Dividend Company.
Don't lose sight of the fact that the
man who buys insurance is the one
who pays the freight. and that wise
men look out for their own interests
and buy from the agent who is able to
furnish undoubted proof that he has
the best goods. All companies are not
about the same" An investigation
will convince the most skeptical.
