InBurauco at Stock Ratea, being from 20 to 30 per cont, lesa than the ratea charged br mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder in regarded a?- a Stockholder to the extent of ono Animal Premium on bia Polioy, and will eharo in thc Pu.liio of the Company to thc tamo extent aa a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Slock. 3. Every Policy isanea by the Company jM non-forfeit able, and conlaiua a 'clause stating ita exact Surrender Value. Before. Insuring your Life or accepting (he Agency of any Company, lt KAU Tin-: FOI,!. OW I IV G : A lengthened experience baa demonstrated that tho rates of pri minni ordinarily charged by life insurance companies aro from twenty ?fl ve to thirty per cent, in excess of what are ne? cessary for a safo aud legitimate conduct of tho business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" ratea havo been aldo to return to their policy-holders from 25 to 30 per cont, of the amount charged for premiums. When lifo inauiancecompanies wore lirtt organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums were constructed had not undergone tett of experience * It waa thought, therefore, no moro tliau common prudeuco to adopt a tcalu of premiums which would, in any event, meet all tho presumed and unforceeen contine,oncie ? of the business. Aa long aa tho matter waa involved in somo doubt, it was better to fix tho rate too high than to incur tho riak uf mak? ing it too low; because, in the former cuae, tho erior could bc easily remedied, at leaat in part, by returning to tue policy-holders, at ce rtain intervals, auch portion of tn* premium charged aa waa found necessary lor the purposes of tho business aud tho comp .o security of the company. Fxpexionco, however, having batialaeto. ily demonstrated that these ratea aro excessive, what poaaiblo excuse can the re be for maintaining them? Availiug themselves of this exp?rience, the Directora ai:d Managers of the Universal Lifo Insurance Company, at ita organization, adopted a seale of premiums in accordance there? with, mid which has proved lo bo fail and adequate, and all that waa necessary to meet tho requirements of tho business. These premiums are about twenty-five per ceut. lower than those charge by mutual corapaneia. It also appeared, iutumuch BS tho ratea BO established were as noar as could possibly bc determined fair tates, and not in excess of what insurance has Previously coat tho policy-holders in mutual companies,'that any profits arising from prudent management justly and prop? i ly belonged to the stockholders of the company, for tho risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experience bas shown that there are sources of profit in tia predice of tho business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in ibu calculation of the premiums. Thcso results form a saving in the mortality of thc- n.embi rs of a company owing to tho me? dical selection of good livi a, a gain in interest on lite invistan uta id the company over that assumed in thc calculation of ita premiums, the- profits derivable trem? the lapsing and sur? render of policies by the members, and from otlu r minor eourci s. Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capita' of ?200,000, and doiug a fair amount of busiucs?, would givo to thc stockholders dividends largely in exe es s vf what were counted on by tho Directors Of tho Cnivorsal at tho time of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among tho policy-holders of tho cc>tnpauy a large pint of boo i roiita accruing ire nt thc sources named, all of which have heretofore bein divided among thc stockholders; Tho plan adopted for auch division ia as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, for the purposes of division, he treated aa a stockholde r to extent fd ono annual premium upon his policy; and will abare in the profits of tho company to precisely sanio exteut as a stockholder owning an iqual amount of tho capital stock. By thia system of insurance, original with the Uuivorral, the policy-holder secured the fo! lowmg import ant advautaget : . li Insurance at tho regular "stork" rates, ri quirir-g a primary outlay c?f abonl twenty to thirty poicont, lesa than that charged by mutual cm paniea, anet which ia equivalent toa yearly "dividend" paid in i cl vance of that amount on mutual rates, 'ihia low cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company hf.a received in premiums from its policy-holders the bum bi fl,617.Otto. To'effect Ibo Hame h mount of instil alice iii a mutual company would have cost tin ni an initial outlay of ii GOO.i LO By allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own peasesMun, thia exceas vt N83,0C0, the Universal baa virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,(00 and paid lt, too, in advance, instead of ut the end cf one or moro years. It iu impossible to fii.d any i UP pie cf a mutual company furnishing i li eur anco at eo low a coat hy reluming lu poiic; Ind it-is au i-qual amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation in the legitimate profits of the company. upi i? -. plan which secures to thc policy-holders the same treatment which directora and stockholm !* award te? I hi nisei vee. This system of participation, in coi nrction with the h w "aleck" rates ol' premiums, must necessarily acenre to tho policy-holders every poeeih'o advantage to he derived from prudent and caroful management. Tho low ratea of premium con pel economy, and, independent cf part ici pal ion, gua rn nice to tho policy-holder his iiisnrauct) at a rate w hieb is not in exceas of tl.-- cost in well managed mutual companies; whilo, by the proposed plan ol participation in what ihav be considered tho legitimate profits of tho buaiuesa, the coat will bo * till further diminish! el. Ihn? by tho combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profits, it ia confidently believed tho Universal Lifo Insurance Company oficr* insurance at its lowest practicable coat. Thoso of thc existing policy-holders who desire to participate in tho profits under the new plan can elo so by making application lo tho head ofllco, or to.anv agents of the company. Tho company is in a Houtid financial condition. Ratio of assets to liabilities 130 to 100.
