OFFICERS: WILLIAM WA Liv ion. President. HENRY J. FURBER. Vico-Preaident. JOHN H. BEWLEY, Secretary. GEORGE L. MONTAGUE, Actuary. E. W. LAMBERT. M. D., Medical F aminer. THIS COMPANY offers the fellowing IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Raten, being from 20 to 30 per cent, lcea than the rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the oxtent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will aharo in tho Profita of the Company to tho same extent as a Stock? holder owning an equal amonnt of thc Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issued by the Company IB non-forfeitablo, and contains a ?clause stating its exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, Il IC AD TI1K FOLLOW INC! A lengthened experience has demonstrated that tho ratea of premium ordinarily charged by lifo inauranco companies aro from twenty-live to thirty per cent, in exctBs of what are ne? cessary for a safo aud legitimate conduct of tho business. In other words, carefully and nrndcntly-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-holders from 25 to 30 per ceut. ot the amount charged for premiums. When lifo insurance companies wero firat organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums were constructed had not undergone test of experience. It WSB thought, therefore, no moro than common prudence tn adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long aB the matter was luvolvad in some doubt, it WSB better to fix the ralo loo high than to incur the risk of mak? ing it too low; becanao, in the formor case, tho error could bo easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged HH waB found necessary tor the purposes of tho business and the complete eecurity of (he company. Experience, however, having satislacto. il j demonstrated that these rates aro excessive, what possible excuso can there ho for maintaining th? m? Availing thomaelves of thia'experience, thc Directors aud Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopt? d a ecalo of premiums in accordance there? with, and which bas proven to bo fail and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums aro about twenty-five per cont, lower than those charge by mutual enmuaneis. It also appeared, inasmuch as the rates so established were a? near AH could possibly be determined fair rates, and not iu excess of v. hit insurance has previously cost tbe policyholders in mutual companies, that an; profits arising from prudent management Justly and properly belonged to thc stockholders of tho company, for tho rink incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Expe. ienco has shown that there aro sources of profitin tho prartico of thc boniness which theory will not admit of being considered as el? ments in the calculation of the premiums, rin se results form a caving in the mortality of the mouthe rs of a company owing to the me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of tho company over that assumed iu tho calculation of its pr? m innis, thc profils dcrivablo from tho lapsing and sur? render of policies by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capita' of $200,000, and doing a fair amonnt of business, would givo to tho stockholders dividends largely in excess nf what wore counted on by the Directors of the Universal at the time of itu organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among thu policy-holders of tho company ii largo part of tho profits acoruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among the stockholders. Tho plan adopted for such division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, for tho purposes of division, he treated aa a stockholder to ext? nt of ono animal premium upon bia policy; and will share in tho profits of the company to precisely samo extent as a stockholder owning an cqnal summit of tho capital Block. By this Kystom of insurance, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holder secures the fol? lowing im port un t advantages: 1. Insurance at the regular "stock" rates, r? quiring a primary outlay of abc ut twenty thirty per cent. loss than that charged by mutual companies, and which is ?quivalent to yearly "dlvhlond" paitl in i dvance nf that amount 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-holders the sum of f1,617.000. To effect the same amount of inaut ant e in a mutual company would have cost th? ni an initial outlay of ?2 000,000. By allowing its policv bofders to retain, in their own possession, this excess ??f $483,000, tho Universal bas virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,000 and paid lt, too, in advance, instead of at the end of one or more years.
