A POLICY OF THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Is not only a solid estate, but your Will which distributes it among your heirs. Subject to Codicils many or few, it is a Will no lawyer is needed to make, nor which heirs disgruntled need endeavor to break. A A dl whose executor is going to live ; going to be here when the Will is probated. Bonded by One Hundred and Thirty Millions, the Executor is responsible alike for the distribution and die estate distributed. Many a Will is made only on paper. The Executor finds nothing to distribute. Be tween the making and probating the estate disappears. A policy in the Northwestern, as we have said, both creates an estate, and distributes it—all as ordered by the holder of it, the maker of the Will, tfo court could compel more certain distribution. Tou may make it to-day payable to one Beneficiary; change it to-morrow to another, or two or more. Beneficiaries sometimes cease to deserve. If one, both or all of them die-, beneficiaries in succession—one, two or more—chosen by yourself or beneficiary, may enjoy your bounty. Payable to-day in 2 to 20 or 25 annual instalments you may change it to-morrow to a single sum. Payable to-day in installments for life you may or der it to-morrow to be paid to your heirs, with an income for life to whom you may name. Your policy is the clay, you are the putter. Limited only by amount of the policy, no other Estate Js so sure, no security so ample no distribution so certain. The New Policy of the Northwestern Is adjustable to contingencies impossible to foresee at time of application. Circumstances change. Changed circumstances create unlooked for require ments. The New Policy covers more contingencies at the least net cost. Larger the dividends cheaper the cost of Insurance. Dividends in Life Insurance are not made as with banks, factories, etc. They are merely that portion of the premium charged by the Company that lisiiut consumed each year, plus a very small amount of interest. The insuring public does not seem to know that they are entitled to dividends annually. A number of the larger companies pay their agents an extra (commission to write the defered dividend policies; consequently nearly all Life Insurance agents when soliciting an application tell him of the large amount phe company will pay him in 15 or 20 years. The large amount is promised, not guaranteed. The dividends of the NORTHWE STERN on a 20-pay Life usually begins at 22 percent of the premium and will increase each year or will average 33 |to35 per cent.. Insure with the NORTHWESTERN. Xo other Company can show results anywhere nearly equal to the above. For rates, particulars and for information, address, GRAHAM DREO-ER, EDWARD J. COSTELLO, Manager Eastern Georgia Department.
