" -?ETNA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, HA?TrO??D, CONK. Annual Income over $3,250,000 ! 1,300 policies issued, and receipts over $300,000 last month. Over 13,000 policies issued the past year-thc largest number ever issued in a single year by any Life Insur? ance Company in the United States. In the year ending November ly 1865. its losses were fewer than those of any other Company, in proportion to the number cf policies. (See Eleventh Annual Report of Massa? chusetts Insurance Commissioners, pago 57.) In proportion to income, its per centage of expenditure was LOWER than that of any other Company. (See New York Insurance Report, 1866. ) Its success in doing the LARGEST BUSINESS with the FEWEST LOSSES and LEAST EXPENDI? TURE, enables it to pay its policy? holders an ANNUAL DIVIDEND of FIFTY PER CENT., with as good a prospect of increasing it as any other Company. Thc unparalleled success of the ?Etna can only be accounted for by its admirable plan of transacting its business to suit the wants of the peo? ple, giving them policies at actual cost, embracing NEW and IMPOR? TANT FEATURES, tfhich secure to them all the advantages that can Vie derived from a policy of Life Insur? ance. All who wish to avail themselves of the benefits of Life Insurance, should examine the ?Etna's plans for the same by calling upon any of its agents at their place of business. E. A. BULKELEY. Fres't.
