Announcement Dividends of 1915 THE regular dividends to be credited by the Mutual Bene fit Life Insurance Company to its members on partici pating premium paying Life and Endowment policies upon their anniversaries in 1915 show a substantial increase over the regular dividends credited in 1914. Such increase results from fhe fact that it has become unnecessary for the Company to retain for expenses and contingencies as large a pordon of that part of the stipulated premiums provi ded therefor as has heretofore been retained for such pur pose. This is the third increase in the regular dividend scale of the Mutual Benefit since the present premium rates and re serve basis were adopted in 1900. The regular dividend scale adopted in 1900 was continued through 1909. The in creased scale adopted in 1912 has been continued up to this time. The new increased scale for 1915 became effective January 1st. Absolute Security ! Liberal Policy Contract ! . Lowest Possible ! . _. ? IN connection'with the above announcement that dividends for 191S on prem ium paying life and endowment policies have been increased very substantial ly over those payable on similar policies in 1914 it is worth while to call at tention to the following record of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company covering the past seven years. To our knowledge the record is one which has not been equaled by any other life insurance company. In 1907 the Mutual Benefit still further liberalized, for both old and new policies, its non-forfeiture system adopted in 1879 and modified in 1895 and 1900. Inf 1908 the Company established a Suspended Mortality fund, which relieves the Company of the necessity of changing its dividend scale to meet fluctuations in death losses from year to year. ' | In 1909 the Company increased its dividend scale for 1910 and declared a special dividend of $675,000.00 payable in 1910 in addition to the increased divi dend. In 1910 the Company established a Kcal Estate Depreciation fund. In 1911 it established a Security Fluctuation fund and made a further increase in its dividend scale for 1912. In 1912 the Company established higher reserves for policies issued prior to 1900, and provided that thereafter the loan and surrender values of such* policies should be based upon such higher reserves. In 1913 the.Company declared a special dividend of $861,000.00 in addition to the regular dividend, and adopted an increased dividend scale for the ye^.r i9i5. In 1914 the Company declared*a special dividend of $86l,000.fi> in addi tion to the regular dividend, and adopted an increased dividend scale fci the year 1915. It will be noted that the several increases in the Mutual Benefit's dividend .'scale and the declaration, of .special dividends have followed the establishment of contingency reserves computed upon a mathematical basis, and which, in the light of past experience, ar? amply sufficient to protect the Mutual Benefit against those contingencies to which all life Insurance, companies are liable. The first concern of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company has been the absolute security of its outstanding policy contracts. Secondly, it has endeavored to liberalize its policy contracts to the fullest possible extent and to furnish insur ance thereunder at the lowest possible cost, Inasmuch as it has been established that the earnings of .the Company ar? sufficient to maintain the contingency re serves upon the bases adopted and to provide for Increased dividends, such increase has been made. The Mutual Benefit confidently presents its claims to the patronage of the in suring public upon the above record, which Is unique in the history of life insur ance. < <... . r- . <,-t ;.:*.v.. M. M.
