FURBER, vice-President. JOHN II. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M.D., Medical Examiner. THIS COMPANY offers tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those abont EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 30 per cent, lees than the rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to tho extent of ono Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of tho Company to tho same extent aa a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of tho Capital Slock. 3. Every Policy iusuou by the Company is nou-forfeitable, and contains a [clause stating Ita exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, HEAD Till: FOLLOWING! A lengthened experience has demonstrated that tho rales nf premium ordinarily charged by lifo inuuraneu companies aro from twenty-live to ihirty per cent, in excess ot what are ne? cessary for a safo and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates havo heen able to return to their policy-holders from 25 to 30 pei* cent. ot tho amount charged for premiums. When life insurance companies were first organized, reliability Of the data upon which pre? miums wero constructed had not undcrgoue teat of e xperience, lt was thought, therefore,no moro than common prudence to adopt a scidu of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen eontingeneh s of the business. As long as tho matter waa involved in somo doubt, it wae belter to lix the rate too high than to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in tlio former cuse, the error could be easily remedied, at least In part, by returning to thu policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of tue premium charged au wau found necessary for the purposes of tho business and tho complete security of the company. Exp?rience, however, having sulistacloily demonstrated that these rates are excessive, what possible excuse can there he for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Lifo Insurance Company, at it? organization, adopti d a SCRIO of premiums in accordance there? with, ami which hau provea to bo fail and adequate, and all that was necessary to rocot the rccpn remen ts of tho business. These premiums uro about twenty-five per cont, lower than thoeo charge hy mutual compnneis. It aleo appeared, inasmuch as tho rates BO established were as near aa could possibly be determine d lair rates, and not in exceesof what insurance has previously cost the policy-holdere in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of tho company, for the riuk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experience h BB shown that there are som ci s of profit ill the practice of tho business which theory will net admit of being considered au edi ment? ill the calculation of Ihe premiums. The so results form t saving in the mortality of thc me mix rs of a company owing to tho me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in intel ext on thc investments of the company over that assumed in the calculation of itu pr< minnie, the profits derivable from tho lapsing and sur? render of policies hy tho members, and fi om otb' r minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a enmpuny possessed of a capita' ol i2(J0,OG?, ahel doing a fair amount of business, would gi vu tn thu stockholders dividends largely in excess ed ? hat wero counted on by tho Df rectors of tho Duivcisul at tho time of its organization. 1 Hey have, therefore, determined to divido among tho policy-holders of tho company a largo puit of the profits accruing from thc sources named, all nf which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. Thu plan adopted for such division is au follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, i thu purpose s nf division, l e treated as a stockholder to extent of ono annual premium timm his policy; and will share in the profits of tho company to preoieely samo extent as a stockholder owning un equal amount of the capital stock. By thiH system of insurance, original with thc Univ creal, tho policy-holder secures tho fol? lowing import ant advantage!- : 1. Insurance at the regular "stock" ratee, rr quiiirg a primary outlay of abont twenly lo thirty per cent, less than that chai ged hy mutual companies, and which ie equivalent iou yearly "dividend" paid in dvance of (hat amount on mutual rateB. 'Ibis low cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its orgai.ization. ibis company has received in premiums from its policy-holders th? sum ol fl,017.COO. Toi fleet the same amount nf insumi.ee in a mutual company would have cost tin m an initial outlay of t2 00O.0C0. By allowing ?B policy? holders lo retain, in their own possession, this excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" of M8;i COO and paid lt, too, in advance, instead of at tho end of one or more yenrs It is impossible to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing insur? ance at so low a cont hy returning to policy-holdeis an equal amount upon similar receipts. 2 Participation in tho legitimate profits of the compauy, upon a plan which secures to the PMlicv-holders tho esme treatment which directors and Btockholdera award to themselves. Thu? system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of preminmB, munt necessarily secure to tho policy-hohlois every possiblo advantage lo be derived from prudent and cartful management. Tho low rates of premium cou pel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to tho pohcy-holde r his insurance at a rato which is not in excess of tho cost in well managed mutual companies; while, hv the proposed plan or participation in what may be considered tho h gilihiato profits of tho buMneas, the cost will bo billi further diminished. 11?UK hy ihe combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profita, it is conti 'enth believed the Universal Lifo Ineuranco Company ofiere insurance at its lowest pruotictib'e cost. 'I hose of tho existing policy-holders who desire I o participate in the profits nnder the new plan cm do sn hv making application to tho head cfiice, or to any agents of tho company. The company is in a sound financial condition. Ratio of aseets to liabilities 180 to 100.
