Stead, State Senator in Colorado, 1 writes: “Thirty years ago I took a policy in the Mutual Life for $1,000, annual payments $22.08. which I paid : or 20 years, making $465. For the last ten years the premium has been paid by the dividends. In other words, I have not paid any thing for ten years I am now informed from the general office of the Company that my policy is worth $1,800. Had I continued to pay the pre miums in cash, as 1 should have done, the policy would be worth $2,300 to $2,400. But 1 have se cured $1,800 for my family by an investment of $465, which is an excellent showing. I recom mend Life Insurance because I believe in it, and believe in the Mutual Life Policies.
