GIVE YOURSELF
A SQUARE DEAL

DID YOU EVER HEAR or hear Of
Il policy holder in the MUTUAL BEN
EFT expressing any doubt as to the
ability of the Company to carry out its
contracts, not only with him but with
every other policy holder? | am sat
isfied you never have. During the 10
years, lacking about three months,
that it has been in businss it has not
failed to meet a single obligation as
promised, and on numerous occasions
has surpassed its written promises.
New blood does not cut any figure
in its calculations. It's q fact that if
not a single new member should be
added in the future, and each old
member should continue to pay the
'agreed premiums on his Insurance,
every single policy in force today
would be settled in full as it matured
no, as to whether or not the MU-
.TUAL BENEFIT is safe is a question
that never gives the policyholder any
concern. No other company has ever
carried out its contracts at less cost
and no other company writes as liber-
al contracts. Do you think that in
buying Insurance you are giving your
self a square deal if you buy without
investigating the accuracy Of my rep
reservations?
