Past Success a Guarantee for the Future!

This Company was incorporated and organized in November, 1857, and is now in the fifteenth year of its existence. It has steadily increased in popular favor from its origin; and, as will be seen above, has paid out nearly three mil lions to widows and orphans, and over one million of dividends.

It has become one of the permanent financial institutions of the country, and may confidently be expected to pay its obligations maturing fifty years hence.

It issues policies on all the usual plans, with the most liberal provisions as to non-forfeiture, residence and travel.

Dividends are made on the Contribution Plan, and are applied, at the option of the Policy-holder, to reduction of premium, or increase of the amount insured. Policies issued to the amount of $20,000 on a single life, and no extra rates are charged in any case.

The highest rates of interest realized on its cash investments.

In addition to the various plans of insurance already in use, the Company have adopted what is styled

"The Savings Deposit Life Insurance Plan,"

To which they invite the attention of those contemplating insurance. It is believed
it will commend itself to universal favor. Those insuring on this plan will be
permitted, if they choose, to withdraw their entire equitable interest at the expi-
ration of a certain number of years; and there are other features that obviate the
objections to insurance on other plans. Explanations of this scheme have been
prepared, and will soon be in the hands of the Company's agents.
