The ' loan was a popular one, and it has been the source of much satisfaction that people with their surplus savings were able to boy the bonds. , “It ie ac Interesting fact that while wo offered but two hundred millions of bonds for sale, over fonrtsen hun dred millions were subscribed by the people of the country, and by the terms of sale do one wae able to re ceive bonds in excess of <5,000.” IIJ Sfl'. 1 , Xff.

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 r which aid given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: _ Mr. Banks was insured t0r.,..;. ™ The dividends amounted to _ , Paid to the estate. - - 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. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. < Original insurance in 1845, - - Dividend additions paid in 1898, ....1BA»°- Amount of death claim.... 54 Premiums paid by insured •• Realized to estate over premiums paid $8 388.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt P®J cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from >o,tMJV at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. Tne 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 Savi n g ß Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated th< ■ power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified hy the result o nis method of investment-—a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world.
