Meat, eggs, vegetables, clothing, all the necessf
ties of life, seem to be constantly costing more.
There is one necessity however which is a grand
exception, the cost of life insurance. The Mutual
Life pocyholder finds that his premium payments
larger than formerly. On the contrary, ms
annual dividends have increased steadily for several
successive years, and this means that the actual
cost of his insurance has been growing correspond
ngly less If you policyholder in The Mutual
Life you are partner in its business. No profits go
to stockholders because there no stockholders.
You get your share of the profits in the form of dlvl
dends whether under the terms of your policy, you
receive them every year of five, ten fifteen, or
twenty years. Ruskin says There is something I'M
pressive in mere size" There many things I'M
pressive about The Mutual Life; but, merely on the
basis of size, isn't it impressive to realize that its
assets amount to $600,0000O0? 1t pays to Its
policyholders $377.54 every minute for every eight
hour working day in the year. How many minutes
pay do you think should be coming your way some
time?
Sidney Brooks writing in "The North American
Review for October 1912 remarks "Of late The
Mutual Life has led the entire world of insurance in
devising sound liberal and ingenious schemes for
meeting the needs of policyhoders who have been
compelled to discontinue the payment of their pre-
mums and in formulating an attractive series of
options open to benefciares the death of the
insured. No company, indeed, has done more to
make the interests of its pocyholders the guiding
principle of its whole policy and administration"
