TXOrJ^TE BEFORE
No man ought to take a policy of LIFE INSURANCE in any company without first making that company show what dividends it is paying on the
policy he is considering. If he will do this and then compare such dividends with those of the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL he will make no mistake in
getting the best. The Northwestern is willing to show its dividends to anybody at any time. Don’t let the Agent do all the talking and figuring, do
some yourself. Ask for dividend records and don’t be satisfied until you get them, then act on your own judgment. GET the BEST. You are entitled
to it! If men would exercise one-tenth the care before buying Life Insurance that they do in buying stocks or bonds, they would save thousands of dol
lars. The superiority of the Northwestern in reducing the cost of Life Insurance is due to the great dividends paid to policy holders.
The larger the DIVIDEND the cheaper the cost of Insurance.
Capt. E. J. O’Connor, of Augusta, Ga., was insured Sept. 29th, 1892, at the age of 47 in the
Northwestern on Ordinary Life Plan for $10,000. Annual Premiums $418.50. All dividends
used to reduce cost ol insurance.

challenges this statement.

Macon, Ga.
MACON, GA. December 12th, 1898.
I took a policy for §8,000 two years ago on the 20-Payment Life Plan in the NORTH
WESTERN MUTUAL. The premium was §202.50. I received my first dividend last month
and it amounted to §45.20. I found by using this dividend in cash and paying ONLY §7.50 more
that I could carry $2,000 more on the SAME PLAN, and 1 immediately applied for and have re
ceived a policy tor §2,000 on the same plan, thus giving me §10,000 insurance for only $7,50
more than I was paying on the §8,000 I first took. This is certainly an excellent showing, and
I am very proud of my policy in THE NORTHWESTERN.
It is only fair to state that I took a policy in another company on the same plan as the
one I took in The Northwestern, and The Northwestern dividend IS AWAY YONDER AHEAD
OF THE OTHER.

The low rate of one cent per mile

The trustees should either move
tbe Swainsboro High School to the
river or dig a well. -Its a public
shame tnat there should be no well
on the grounds. The pupils cannot
be expected to do without water,
and it’s a great hardship on the
teachers, as well as the community
around the Academy, for the chil
dren to have to run about getting
water wherever they can. If the
county and town authorities are too
everlastingly narrow-minded to fur
nish a public well in the town, the
trustees of the school should see to
it that water is supplied for the pu-j
pils and teachers. j
