IS THE OLDEST IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD. Since organization to the present time, it has paid and now holds on policies not yet due the enormous sum of 16,000,000. , Its dividend record is unsurpassed by any other company m the world. It protects your dividends in case of death and provides for your old age. See that your policy has this clause inserted in it. As compound reeults are the source of life of all the old line companies, i what is best for the company should be best for the insured. And for best results teke a policy in the grand old MUTUAL LIFE. Fathers see to it that the daughter, the pride of your heart, when as sailed by the vicissitudes of life and touched by the cruel handoffate. shall be provided with a guaranteed income for lite. The MU fUAL LIFE, the strongest financial institution known on the globe—twice as large as the Bank ot England—writes that guarantee. And to the patriotic soldier who feels called upon to avenge the wrongs to his country, we say don’t forget the loved ones at home—the Mutual Lite is prepared to take oare of all. And for the benefit of those-who have a policy in this grand old company we give the following extract from a letter of the president, Richard A. McCurdy: “I wish you to assure every policy-holder in this Company that his rights will be fully protected under all circumstances and tha no one need hesitate to respond to the call of patriot ism or duty through fear of the forfeiture of his policy. RICHARD A. McCURDY, President.” For best plans of insurance please consult me. _A.. "W". HIT. ilLy Special Accent. I-'WVK- LLSJ G'.. CEML OF SEOBGII RAILWAY 00. Schedule in Effect Jan. 9, 1898.
