E. W. LAMBERT, M. D., Medical Examiner. -O THIS COMPANY offers tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Inauranco at Stock Hates, being from 20 to 30 per cent, lesa than the ratos charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Polioy-holeier is rogardeel as a Stockholder to the extent of ono Annual Premium on bia Policy, and will share in the Prolits of tho Company to the same extent aa a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issuou by the Company ia uou-forfcitable, and contains ajclause stating ita exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency rf any Company, READ THE FOLLOWING) A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by life insurance companies are from twenty-five lo thirty per cent, in excess of what are ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of thu business. In other words, care-fully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-holdors from 25 to 30 per cent, ut the amount charged for premiums. When lifo insurance companies were firrt organized, reliability of tho data npon which pre? miums wcro constructed had not undergone test nf experience. " lt waa thought, therefore, no moro than common prudence to adopt a i-cale of premiums which would, in any event, moot all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as tho matter was involved flt some doubt, it was better to lix thc mic too high than to incur thc risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in tho former case, tho error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at ceri aili intel vals, such portion of tho premium charged aa was lound necessary fur the purposes <>f the business and tho complete security of the company. Experience, however, having satistacto. ily demonstrated that these rates aro oxecssivo, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors anti Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopti tl a beale of premiums in accordance there? with, und which has proveo to bo fail and adequate, and all that was nccecsary to meet the reqhircniciilsof the business. These premiums are about twenty-live per cent, lower than those charge by mutual compane-is. Ii uUei appeared, inasmuch us the rates HO established wcro us near as could possibly he deteimiueel lair rales, nod liol in excess ed' what insurance has previously coat thc poliey-holelc-rs in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent manage ment justly ami properly be longed io thc stockholders pf tho company, for tho rick incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experience has shown thal there ?re ??ni ces of profit in ibo practice elf the business which theory will not admit ot being considered ns ede mi nts iii the calculation til tho premiums. These results form a saving in the mortality of the nie-mbi rs of u company owing to tho me? dical selection of good lives, a gain m intel est on the invcst'.ni nts ot the company over that assumed iii the calculation of ns premiums, the profils derivable from the lapsing anil sur? render of policies by tho members, ami from nlht r minor semi ci s. Prolits from those sources, in a company possessed of a capita1 of.$200,000, and doing a fair amount of business, would give tei the stockholders dividends largely in excess of what were counted on by tho Directora of tho Univeisal at tho time of ita organization. They have, therefore.?lotermined to divide among the policy-holders of tho company a largo part of tho pru?ts accruing from the sources named, ?.!! of which have heretofore brim divided among thu stockholders. Tho plan adopted for such division ia aa follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, for the purposes of division, he treated aa a stockholder to extent wf ono annual premium upon bia policy: and will share in the prolits of tho company to precisely same extent as a stockholder owning an ?quul aim nut of the capital stock. By thia system of inauranco, original willi tho Universal, rtiu policy-holder secures tho fol? lowing important advantages: 1. Insurance at tho regular ,;?tock" rate s, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty por cent, less than that charged hy mutual companies, and which is equivalent loa yearly "dividend" paid in ?.dvance of that summit on mutual rates. This low cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company has received in premiums from its policy-holdcra thc sum eif $1,517,000. To effect Ihn snme amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them un initial outlay of ?2 OOO.OCO. By allowing ita policy holdors to retain, in their own possession, this exceasof 1483,000, tho Universal bas virtually paid thom a "dividend" of 1483,000 and paid lt, too, in advance, instead of at tho e nd of ono or moro yeara. It is impossible lo lind n nj example cf a mn I mil ci mpuny furnishing inaur? anco at so low a coat by returning to polmi h. I.h i MUH ?pial summit upon similar receipts, 2. Participation in tho legitimate pi?.file ni Hi. company, upon u .dun which secures to tho policy-holders tho same treatment which directoin and stoiddiolil. ra award to themselves. Thia system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" lutes ot premiuniB, must necessarily secure to the polioy-boldera every possiblu advantage to bo derived from prudent and careful management. Tho low rates of premium compel economy, and, Independent of participation, Ruaranteo to tho policy-holder his iuBuranco at a rato which is liol in exe? ss of the cost in well managed mutual companies; while, by tho proposed plan ot particip?t ion in what may bo considered tho legitimate profits of the business, tho cost will bo ?tili further diminished. 'ibuB by tho combined advantages arising from low stock rato and participation in profits, it is confidently believed tho Universal Lifo Inauranco Company offers insurance al its lowest pranticablo cost. Thoao of the existing policy-holders who desire tn participate in tho profits under tho now plan can do BO bv making application to the bead office, or to suv agents of tho company.
