It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: Mr. Banks was insured for. Paid to the estate $17,028.00 How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: - Policy No. 1,238. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plan. OrlginaliDSurance in 1845, Diridend additions paid in 1898,...12,028.00 Amount of death claim- v - • • 54 Premiums paid by insured 8,040.00 Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,888.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2j) per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from so,w* at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and nis wisdom is exemplified by the result of his method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.

He said: 1“ The sale of Ripans Tabulee is constant and is increasing,, . due especially to the influential character of the testimonials in the daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general When eace they are begun I notice that • perma’mt customer for them is made.
