LAMBERT, M. D., Medical Examiner. THIS COMPANY offers the following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES Ut those about EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. Insurance at Stock Ratee, being from 20 to 30 per cont, lees than the rates charged by mutual companies. 2. Each Policy-holder ia regarded as a Stockholder to tho extent of ono Annual Premium on his Policy, and will abare in tho Profita o? tho Company to the name extent as a Stock? holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 3. Every Policy issueu by the Company is non-forfeitablo, and contains a !claueo stating its exact Surrender Value. Before Insuring your Life or accepting (he Agency of any Company, KU AD THE FOLLOWING) A lengthened experience bas demonstrated that the rates oi pu minm oidinarily charged hy life insurance companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cent, in excess of what.are ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of the business, lu other words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able tu return to their policy-lodders from 25 to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for prc minnie. When lifo insurance companies weru first organized, reliability of the data upon which pre? miums wore constructed had not undergone test of experience, lt was thought, therefore,no moro than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, io any event, meet all tho presumed and unforeseen contingencies of tho business. As long as tho matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur tho risk of making it too low; because, in the former case, tho error could be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to tho policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium charged as was found necessary for the purposes of the business and tho completo security of tho company. Experience, however, having satisfactory demonstrated that theso rates are excessive, what possihlo excuso can there bo for maintaining them? Availing themselves of thia experience, tho Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at ita orgauizatiou, adopted a t cale of ju emin ms in accordance there? with, and which has proved to bc fail and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requirements of the business. Theso premiums arc about twenty-five per cent, lower than those charge by mutual companeis. It also appeared, inasmuch as tho ratea so established were as near as could possibly be determined fi. ir rates, and not in excess of what im-urancc has previously cost the policy? holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising Iron (prudent management Justly and properly belonged to tho stockholders of tho company, for thc risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. Experience has shown that there are sources cf profit in the practice of the boniness which th cory will not admit of being considered as ?l?ments in the calcul?t ion of the premiums. These results form a saving iu tho mortality of the nombi rs of a company owing to the me? dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the ctmpauy over that assumed iu the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from tho lapsing and sur? render of policies by tho numbers, and from other minor sources. Profits from theso sources, iu a company possessed of a capita* of 1200,000, and doing a fair amount of business, would givo to the stockholders dividends largely iu excess of what were counted on hy tho Directors of tho Universal at tho timo of its organization. They have, therefore, determined to divide among the policy-holdci s of the company a large part of the profits accruing from the Bources named, all ol which havo heretoforo been divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for such division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter inanre with tho Universal will, for thc purposes ol division, bo treated aa a stockholder to extent sf ono annual premium upon hi? policy; and wiU share in the pre?te of the Company to precisely the same extent as a Stockholder owning ott equal amount of the papiial Stock. Hy this system of insurance, original with tho Universal, the policy-holder secures the fol 0 Ming important advantages: 1. Insurance at tho regular "atock" rates, rr quiring a primary outlay of about twenty to thirty pur cent, leas than that charged by mutual companies, and which is equivalent toja yearly "dividend" paid in > dvance of that amount on mutual rates. Ibis tow cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company has received in premiums from its policy-holders the sum of fl,517.COO. To effect the same amount of insurance in a mutual company would have coat them an initial outlay of (2 COO.COO By allowing its policy? holders to retain, in their own possession, this excess of 1483,000, the Universal baa virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,000 and paid lt, too, in advance, instead of at the end of ona or more years It ia impossible to find any example cl a mutual company furnishing insur? ance at so low a coat by returning to policy-holders an equal amount upon similar receipts. 2 Participation in tho legitimate profits of tho company, upon a plan which secures to the r?licy-holdera tho Hame treatment which directora and stockholders award to themselves. This syslen. of participation, in connection w it li the low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure to tho policy-holders every possihlo advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. Tho low rates of premium compel economy, and, indepe ndent of participation, guarantee to tho policy-holder his insurance at a ralo which is not in excess of the coat in well managed mutual companies; whilo. by tho proposed plan of participation in what may be considered tho legitimate profits of the business, tho cost will ho still further diminished. i bus bv tho combined advantages arising from low stock rate- and participation in profits, it is confidently believed tho UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers imurauce at its lowest practicable coat. aa'ThoBo of tho existing policy-holders who desire to participate in profite nuder the now plau can do BO by making application to tho head office, or to any agents of the company. The Company is in a sound financial condition.
