Columbia Hotel Block. THE UNIVERSAL LIFE minni G9 Ll li ER TY STREET, COMPANY ! 69 NEW YORK. The Original Stock Life Insurance Company of the United Btates. OFFICERS: WILLIAM WALKER, President. HENRY J. FUHRER. Vico-Prosident. JOHN H. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT, M.D.. Medical Examiuer. -O THIS COMPANY offers tho following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES lo those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Ratee, being from 20 to 30 per cent, lees than the rates chargod by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to tho extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in tho Profita of tho Company to the same extent as a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issued by the Company is non-forfeit able, and contains a !c!auae stating its exact Surfender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, RICAS THE FOLLOWINGS A lengthened experience baa demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by life insurance companies aro from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess ol what are ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" ratea have been able to return to their policy holders from 25 to 30 per cent, of tho amount charged for premiums. ? Wheo life iusur ance companies were firat organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums were constructed had not undergone test of experience, lt was thought, therefore, no moro than common prndonco to adopt a i-cale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies ot the business. As ?MUK as the matte? ~-z involved in sonio doubt, it wa? better to fix thc rate too high Iban to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; becauae, in tbe former case, tho error could he easily remedied, at leaat in part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain intervals, such poi lion of the premium charged as wau found necessary lor thu purposes of tho business and tho complete security of t ho company. Experience, however, having aatislacto ily demonstrated that these rates are excessive, what possible excuse can there ho for maintaining them? Availing themselves of this experience, tho DirC'?tor? and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at ita organization, adopt. d a scale of premiums in accordance there? with, and which baa provea to bo fail and adequate, and all that waa necessary to meet the requirements of tho business. These premiums aro about twonty-flvo per cent, lower than thot-o charge by mutual compaueia. ll also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were as near as could posbibly bc determined lair rates, and not in excess of what insurance has previously cod tho policy-holders in mutual companies, that any profita arising from ?rude ri i management justly and properly belonged \o tho stockholders of the company, for be risk incurred by them m undertaking tho business. Experience baa shown that there are sources of profitin the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered aa elements in the calculation of the premiums. These results form a saving in tho mortality of the members of a company owing to the me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the ctmpany over that assumed in the calculation of its pnmirms. the profits derivable fri m tho lapsing and sur? render of policies by tho members, and from ot In r minor sonrces. Broil ta from theso sources? in a company possessed of a capita' of (200 000, and doing a fair amount of business, would give to tho stockholders dividends largely in excers of what wero couuted on by tho Directors of tho Universal at I ho time of ita organization. They have, then-fore, determined to divide among tho policy-holders of tho company a largo part of the profits accruing from thc sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among tbe stockholder?. Tho plan adoptod for such division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with ibo Universal will, for the purpo&CB of division, be treated as a stockholder to ext? nt of ono annual premium upon his policy; and will share in tho profits of tho company to precisely samo extent SB a stockholder owning an equal amount of tho capital stock. By this system of insurance, original with thc Universal, the policy-holder secures the fol? low in g impon ant advantages: 1. Insurance at tho regular "etock" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty thirty per cent less than that charged by mutual com panics, and which is equivalent to jear?v "dividend" paid in dvancot.f that ? mount on mutual rates. Ibis U>w cost ?>f insur? ance is worthy nf attention. Since its orgai ization. this company has received in premiums from its policy-holders the sum of fl.617.COO To ? fie ct the same am? unt of im-uianre in a mutual company would have cont th? m an initial outlay of f2 fOO.CCO By allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own possession, this excess ?'f M88.000, tho Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" e>f LIM UK) and paid lt. too, in advance, matead ol at thc end of one or moro years.
