OFFICERS: WILLIAM WALKER, President. HENRY J. FURBER. Vico-President. JOHN H. REWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT. M.D.. Medical Examiner. THIS COMPANY offers the following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those* about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. In ?nra nco at Stock Rates, being from 20 to 20 per cent, leas than the rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder i? regarded BB a Stockholder to the extent of ono Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in tho Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock? holder owning aa equal amount of thc Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy isBueu by the Company IB non-forfeitable, and contains a 'clause stating ita exact Surrender Value. , Before. Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, UK AD THF. FOLLOWING! A lengthened cxperienco has demonstrated that the ratea of premium ordinarily charged by lifo insurance companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess ot what are ne cosBary for a Baie and legitimate conduct of tho business. In otnor words, carefully and prudontly-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy - hoi dei b from 25 to 30 per ceut. of tho amount charged for preminme. When lifo i usu? ance com pan ios were first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? mi?me were constructed had not nndergonc test of experience lt waa thought, therefore.no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of preminme which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen con tin g eneit rt of ibo business. Aa long aa tho matter waa involved in some doubt, it waa better to Sr tho rate too high than to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; because, in the former caso, tho error could be easily n medici), at leant in part, by returning to the pollcy-hohlera, at certain intervale, Buch ponton of the premium charged as was fonnd necessary foi tho purposes of tho business ano the complete security, of tho company. Experience, however, having satietacto Dy demonstrated that these rates are exceaaivo, what possible excuse can there he tor maintaining them? Availing themselves of thia experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopt . d a scale of premiums in accordance there? with, and which bas proved to be fail and adi quate, ?nd all that waa necessary to meet the requirements of tho nosiness. These premiums aro abont twenty-n>o per cent, lower than those charge by mutual companeia. It also appeared, inasmuch as th rates so established were aa near as' could possibly be determined lair Tates, and not in excess of what inenrance has previously cost tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from prudent management justly and properly belonged to the stockholders of tho company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experienco bas shown that there aro sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit ot being considered aa ch ments in the calculation of the premiums. These" rosu'.ts form a saving in the mortality of tho members of a company owing to the me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the Investments of the company over that assumed in tho calculation of ila prc minnie, the profila derivable from tbe lapsing and sur? render of policies by tho mt ID be rs. and from otb? r minor sources. Profits from theae souroee, in a company possessed of a capita1 of 1210 WK), and doing a fair amount of business, would give to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess of what wcro counted on by the Directors of tho Universal at tho timo of its organization. 'J bc; have, therefore.determined fo divido among tho policy-holders of tho company a large pa?t of tho profita accruing from the HO urces named, all of which have berotoforo been divided among the stockholders. Tho plau adoptod for snob division is aa follows: Every person who ma] hereafter inaure with tho Uuiversnl will, for tho purposes of division, he treated aa a stockholder to ox te-ni of ono annual premium upon bia policy; and will share in thc profite of the company to precisely same extent as a stockholder owning an equal amount of tho capital stock. By this system of iiiBuvauce, original with the Universal, tho policy-holder secures tho fol? lowing important advantages: 1. Insurance nt tho regular "stock" rates, rt quiring a primary outlay of abont twenty thirty per cent, losa than that charged by mutual companies, and which is equivalent to yearly "dividend" paid in idvanco of tba? amount on mumal ratee. 'J bis le>w coat of intu? anco is worthy of attention. Since RH orgai.ization. (hie company has ifceht-d in premium* from ita policy-holders thc emu ot $1.517 COO. To efleet the tame ernennt of insuiance in a mutual company would have cost them an initial e.nih'y of $i f (H).(CO Hy allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own possession, ibis execs* of M83.0C0, the Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" of 1483,000 and paid lt. te>o, in advance, inatead of at ibo end of one or moro jcars. It is impossible to And any ex an ?dc cf a mutual oempany furnishing insur? ance at so low a coat by rotnrning to policy-h?hlet a an rqnal amount upon Bindiar receipts. 2 Participation in ?io legit?malo prolits of the company, opon a plan which secures to the policy-holders tho samo tri atnie nt which directors and stockholders award to themselves. This system of participation, in connection with tho low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure to the policy-holders every pos?iblo advantage to ho th rived from prudent ami careful management. The low nvtcMi f premium con t-cl economy, and. Independent of participation, guarantee tn tho poliey-hohN f his iutnrancu at a rate which is not in e xcess of tho cost in weii managed mutual companies; while, bv the proposod plan ot participation in what may be considere d the legitimate profits of tho* business, tho coat will bo still further diminished. i Ima bv the toinhinod advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profite, it la confident!} believed tho UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers infuranco at its lowest practicable cost. ^ ' Thoao of tho ex ist i eg policy-holders who desire- tr participate in tba profits under tho new plan can do ao by making application to tho head lillee, or to any age nta of the company. The company is iu a sound financial condition.
