Beats it with an instructed and steadfast agency corps by advocating those principals ofjjequity which the company has consistently practiced for generations, in opposition to^all methods involving forfeitures. Beats it with low rates, high surrender values and large annual dividends, which bind the company to thrifty methods of management. While the’genius of an institution is always poorly interpreted by the facts of its history, the Mutual Benefit has sixty*years behind it, which will commend it to anyone who wants secure insurance^for its own sake; what is morally and mathematically his, and is willing that the other fellow should receive his own; his company*to^be economi cally conducted as a genuinely^mutual organization without any en tangling alliances with other financial institutions.
