Worth MOfe..COStS Less

The record Of the Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company, extending
over a period of Sixty-seven years,
will prove two propositions very
clearly to any man who will make a
careful, intelligent investigation, and
they are that its policies are Worth
More and Cost Less than those of any
company in business. They are worth
more because of the fact that they
absolutely safeguard every interest Of
the assured and his beneficiary to a
greater extent than those of any other
company in business today, and its
contracts cost less because Of the TACT
that no company exercises greater
care in the selection Of its risks-those
to whom it issues policies-or con-
ducts it's business on a more economi-
cal scale, therefore 1t Is the best COM
pany to Live in and pay all death
claims on the day proofs are received,
provided of course there Is no indica-
ton that the claim Is fraudulent.
