D., Medical Examiner. -o THIS COMPANY offers tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Bates, being from 20 to 80 per cent, loss than the rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, a'ud will share in the Profit* (>5 tho Company lo the same extent as a Stock? holder owning un equal amount nf the Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issued by thc Company is hon-forfeitable, and contains a [clause stating its exact Surrender Value. . ' Ho/ore Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, RUAD TUB FOIAOW1NC? A lenglhcuetVexpericnrqhas demonstrated that the rates ot premium ordinarily charged by lifo insurance companies ore from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what are ne? cessary foe a safe and legitimate conduct of tho business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rate? have been able to return to their j>t))iey-hoblers from 25 lo SO per cent, ot tho amount charged for premiumB. When lifo insu tapes companied wero first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums were constructed had not undergone tos? of cxporienco. lt waB thought, therefore, no more than common prndcuce to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, moot ali the presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. AB long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in the former case, tho error could be easily remedied, at least in part,' by retdrning tn tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion bf the premium charged as was found necessary for tho purposos of the business ana tho completo security of tho company. Experience however, having satisfactory demonstrated that these rates are excessive, what possihlo excuse can there be for maintaining them? Availing themselves of CUB experience, the Directors and Managers of tho Universal Life Insurance Company, at ita organization,- adopte d a scalo of premiums in accordance there? with, and which has proved to bo fail anti adequal c, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums aro about twenty- five per cent, lower than those ebarge by mutual companeis. ll also appeared, inasmuch as tho rates no established were as near as could possibly bo determined fuir rates, and not in excess of what insurance has previously cost tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly auel properly belonged to the stockholders' of the company, for tho risk incurred by them in undertaking thu business. Exporie nco has shown that there aro stun ces of profit in Ute. practice nf tho business which theory ivill not admit of being considered as elements in tho calculation of the premiums. These results form a raving in tho mortality of the members of a conipany owing to the me? dical solection of good lives, a gain m interest on th? investments ot the cempany over that assumed in the calculation of it e. premiums, thc profils doriyable from tho lapsing and sur? render of policies by the nu tubers, and from other minor tori m s. Profits from thea o sources, in "te company porscsscd of a capita1 of $2C0,0CQr'and doing a fair amount of business, would give to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess of what were counted on by tho Directora of tho Universal at Ibo time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among thu policy-holders t>f tho company a largo pnit of tho profits accruing from tho sources linus d, nil ol which have herotoloru been divided among the stockholders. -, ? , . The plan adopted for such division is us follows: Every, person who'may1 hereafter insure, with tho Universal will, lor the purposes of division, bo-trcatetl as a stockholder to extent nf ono annual premium upon hi? policy; and will share in the profits of tho company to precisely same extent.au a stockholder owning-an equal-amount of tim capital stock. By thia system of insurance, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holder ?coures the fol? lowing important a dvan tag u*; . . , 1. Insurance nt the regnlur "stock" l utes, rtqnirirg a primary outlay of about twenly to thirty per e'ent. lees than that ehargt:d by mutual'companies, and which ?B equivalent toa yearly '.'dividend-' paid in 1 dvance of that amount 011 mutual rates.
