A CITIZEN OF KEFHZIBAH SAYS :
Hephzibah, Ga., October 29th, 1900.
^Ir. E. J. Costello^ Manager, Augusta, Ga.
Dear Sir :—Replying to your letter of recent date I beg to say that in May, 1891, I applied through you
to the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY for a policy of §5,000.00 on the
20-payment Life, 20-year Semi-Tontine Plan
I regard the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL as one of the safest, strongest and best managed Life Insur
ance Companies in this country. The fact that the Company does not write any business in the unhealthy
portions ol the United States in my opinion should commend it to all contemplating life insurance. I have
been reliably informed that the assets of the NORTHWESTERN are the cleanest, safest and best of any mon
ied institution in this country. The new policy now offered by your company is in my opinion the perfection
of Life Insurance. 1 unhesitatingly recommend the NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL to my fellow-citizens of
Burke County.
Very truly yours,
• - CT_ IB_ FRYEB.
The policies of the Northwestern, with its many benefits, lib
eral guarantees, coupled with the Large Annual Dividends of
the Company to reduce the cost of insurance, makes it the ideal
contract, the most attractive policies offered by any Life Insur
ance Company on earth.
