I ?oualds, s. C.; April 1 5, 1914. Mr- Calhoun Man?s, District Superintendent, Mutual Lite Insurance Co., New York. Anderson, S. C. Dear Sir : I want to thank you, and through you, yom company for the check tor $927.00, which you have today handed nie in settlement of death claim under policy No. 1775953, on the life of my husband, Sam Hay. I hardly know how tu express m> appreciation of Hie treatment 1 have received by sour Company. On February 27th, 1909, the above named policy was issued for ?1000.00. The Compati) made a loan of ?87.62 under same, and this loan with accrued interest was due on February 27th, I'M ?, and as same was not renewed, il appears that the Company returned the policy lo my husband, who w as then living at Vina, Ala., indorsed as "paid up tenn insurance,'' for sl>27.oo, tor one year and one month, ?from February 27th, 1913. He died June 28th, 1913, and I was fsot aware for some time that the insurance was in force and al though I have never been able to lind the policy, your Company, through you, is today paying me the $927.00. The treatment which I have received, certainly proves to mc that your company looks out at all times for the interest of its Policy Holders, and it will be a pleasure for me to recommend the Company to any one anticipating taking out Life Insurance. Again thank you, I alli Yours very truly, (Signed) Della A. Kay. Tb; best company is the one thai does the most good. The Mutual Life Insurance Company Of New York.
