As OLD As THE GOVERNMENT
Mutual Life Of New York Founded o.
Line Insurance.

On tho nrst Of February, 1S43. the
Mutual Life insurance Company OF
New York issued the first mataemafi-
cal reserve policy ever written BY an
American company. This Is the basis
of old line insurance which does not
have to be reorganized and liens placed
on policies when the policy holders
get old.
Fos seventy-six years this great In
surance company has weathered three
panies and three wars and has grown
stronger with each year Of service. 1t
enters the year 1919 with justifable
pride in it's impregnable strength, its
unsurpassed policyp contracts. its gen.
erous dividends. and its great body OF
well-satisfied policy holders.
Nearly every man feels that he will
live long enough to provide an in
dependent income for his wife and
family after his death and yet statis-
tics show that there are over three
million widows in the United States
today that lack the ordinary comforts
Of life. Eighty-two Of every hundred
who die leave no income producing
estate, and over ninety per cent Of the
estates that are left are in the form OF
life insurance. There is only one sure
way Of creating an immediate estate
buy on old line life insurance policy.
This gives the wife and family the i'm
mediate cash in event Of your death.
