(INCORPORATED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK. STOCK COMPANY.) JOHN R. HEGEMAN, President. ANOTHER VALUABLE CONCESSION to Industrial policy holders. The Company announces that every person insured in the Metropolitan under a Whole Life Industrial policy who is now 75 years of age or over IS RELIEVED OF FURTHER PAYMENT OF WEEKLY PREMIUMS, and a similar concession will he made to all persons now insured under Whole Life policies who will reach age 75 during 1907 as soon as they arrive at that age. This concession takes effect as of January 1,1907, and all premiums paid in advance of that date on any policy such AS » WE REFER TO WILL BE RETURNED TO THE POLICY-HOLDER. This action of the Company in granting FREE POLICIES AT AGE 75 ' is without precedent in the insurance business and we believe the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company is the only Company that ' has granted such a concession. This will cost in increase of reserve and in remission of premiums this year < OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS To appreciate the generous treatment accorded to its policy-holders by the Metropolitan Life, it must be remembered that al ready during THIS YEAR it has announced and is paying OVER TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in voluntary contributions to Industrial policy-holders, over and above all obligations expressed or implied in their policies, by a cash dividend upon all Whole Life Industrial policies over five years old, by mortuary dividends (that is, voluntary additions to the face of the policies-when they become claims) applicable to all death claims incurred during tho year where policies at the date of death have been in force over five years, and by paying as endowments Whole Life policies on which premiums have been paid for 15 years when insured reaches age 80. J: x This makes a total of OVER THREE MILLIONS THIS YEAR allowed to Industrial policy-holders, over and above the j contract obligations, and OVER THIRTEEN MILLIONS during the past twelve years. If this announcement of a free policy affects any reader of this advertisement, and if his case has not yet been attended to, we ask him to speak to the agent who collects his premiums and the agent will attend to forwarding the policy to the Home Office, TO f BE EXCHANGED WITHOUT EXPENSE, FOR A FREE POLICY FOR THE FULL AMOUNT CALLED FOR BY THE « POLICY SURRENDERED. V' INCREASE IN BENEFITS New Tables with large increases of benefits in Industrial policies have been adopted. The payment of premiums on all new Industrial Life policies will cease at age 75. Reductions have been made in the premiums charged for most of the forms of Ordinary policies. 1906 The Company Wrote More Insurance Than Any Other Company in the World.

The remarkable novelty of Mr. Pine- ro's play, the skillful dramatic situa tions he presents, the new characters her offers, the series of thrills In the four acts, and the numerous surprises that occur in the different erenes make It something entirely different from the run of plays with which theatergoers are familiar, and cauee It not only to be talked about, but enthusiastically admired. Mr. Drew is perfectly at home In the delightful polished role of the ex-dipiomat, who straightens out his brother's family troubles, and Mar- garet Illlngton, his leading lady, It Is believed, Is conspicuously splendid In the part of . the rebellious wife, around whom the play revolves.
