would cost him about $luO per Sl0Ou more
| II he should delay ten Years Ills estate
would cost him that much less by taking
It ten years earlier.
s. His policy would mature earlier. He
gets through with his payments sooner

Iirst worthy thought that young mar

/. lie Is sure 10 want old line insur-
ance sometime, Life insurance has come
to DO a great aud Indispensable factor
in the business world Its application q
the various phases OF business are varied,
and new and helpful forms of application
are being developed and discovered con-
stantly. Thus. important as old line in

poTtant In the future. Young men should
avail themselves Of the great advantages
which this factor In their future success
will give them. A gentleman OF expert.
ence said: 1t is hard 10 make a young
man see what he ought to do about TAX
ing old line insurance until he has become
too old TO make It Of the highest value
at the least cost"
2. A policy In an old line company
will at once rank the young man In the
best class Of business men, These men
universally carry such insurance. When
they know that a young man has pur
chased such policy they at once com.
mend his wisdom and foresight and rank
him up in their esteem. As his advance
ment and preierment must depend much
upon this class OF men the fact that he
holds a good policy will effect his future
success. II Ire ranks himself in the SAINT
class as successful business men he in
sttnotively eultiyates sense OF manhood
and independence.
g. BY buying an old line policy he I'm.
mediately creates an estate. II he lives
II becomes Increasingly valuable to him.
II he dies lie leaves an estate to the
amount OF his policy as relliy as though
he had u farm OF that ,aiuo. Inc fact
that ne is creating an estate Of his own
has q tremendous influence upon hls
efforts ana character.
l. An old line policy increases a young
mans credit. A banner said OF the men

are bound TO grow and flourish If they
sell enough policies at fair price and
are economically managed.

its sixth year. and has s., 1000 of insur-
ance In force on as sound and vigorous
lives as any company in the United
States The foundations have been laid,
and securely laid without resorting to
any questionable practices, II has never

sion after the payment Of three annual
premiums. II has meant TO deal fairly
and equitably with its poIicyhoiders. II
has never tried 20 impress upon tho public
that a man can make money for himself
by taking q policy on his own life. 1t has
preached the doctrine that life Insurance
costs money. that its purpose ls to pro-
tect the family OF. or those dependent
upon the bread winner, and that it never
should be taken as a speculation. In
short. this company has stood for re-
turn TO the earlier. saner and truer con-
ceptions OF what life Insurance really Is,
the animating impulse Of which is love,
not avarice; duty. not selfishness, senti-
ment. not greed.

home office building Of this company will
be the largest and finest in New York
city noted for its skyscrapers costing
millions Of dollars.
In 1911 the people Of Nebraska paid this
New York company Eearly s9noo in
premiums. or enough. had a Nebraska
company received them. for il to hay"
erected an office building Of its own in
some city in the state, our people paid
last year to each Of three other companies
the New York Life, the Northwestern
and the Mutual Life-eyen a larger
amount than was paid to the Equitable.
These are facts worth considering.
One Of the ways 10 develop big bust
ness is to patronize the big life insur-
anee companies whose headquarters are
or near Wall street. one way TO de-
velop Nebraska is to patronize sound Ne
braska institutions. The Midwest Life is
in the market TO insure the healthy men
and women Of Nebraska, So are the big
eastern companies. II is for the men and
women of Nebraska TO make their choice
whether they wish home office build
ings in this or in some other state;
whether they wish to help swell the
number on the payroll Of an institution
here or elsewhere. whether they wish TO
aid in the uphuildng Of a state company
or, perchance. to add TO the already
swollen assets Of a company controlling
$50. 600. or more, waich Is in itself an
economic menace.

President Of the Midwest Life Of Lin
coin, Neb.
"A speech made at the fourth annua
banquet given to the agents Of the Mid
west Life on Saturday. January q. 1872
On February Il. 1876. the Midwest Llfs
was incorporated; on April D it was au.
thoriZed 10 do business, and on May q
1905, it issued its first policies When in
process Of organization some said it would
never write a policy. After that stage
was successfully passed these and others
said it would not last three years, that
within that time our competitors would
be dancing over our grave" Many with
a more kindly feeling wished US we'll
and commended our plans and methods,
Yet debated whether We would make IL
These doubts. real or feigned. were sug-
gested in some instances because the
Midwest Life was 10 write all Of It's par
tiCipating policies on an annual dividend
basis and later they were sccentuated
possibly by the further fact that after the
second year the company wrote by far
the larger part Of its business on the
stock or nonpartinpating plan, carrying
low premiums No other Nebraska COM
pany had ever. or has since. ventured
upon such a course. In some cases the
doubt Was father 10 the wish that We
might fail, We did not fail. nor was
there ever a period when there was the
rcm9test probability that we would; and
the Midwest Life today Is one OF the
recognized life insurance companies OF
Nebraska
As a general proposition think it may
he safely asserted that q company Is
established when
First. it has d sufficient number Of
policyholders to experience a normal
death rate. and
Second, il has an agency organization
which is producing, at reasonable ex-
pense such a volume Of new business
that the company. after replacing all
terminated policies. Is making a steady
and persistent growth each year in its
insurance in force.
Both Of these conditions are met by this
company. ActuaTies claim that in a num-
her reaching from go to 100 there will be

We had more than this number of policy

800: at the end Of 1910 about LOO, and
at the end Of 1911 the number had grown
to 200 or more than three times the
necessary number of poiicyholders re-
quired TO obtain a reasonably stable death
rate. As matter Of fact. owing to the
extreme care and caution exercised by
our agency force and the medical de-
