Holding a conspicuous place among the leading institutions of New Jersey, its record for years—in fact, we might say during the whole of its more than sixty years—has been one of successful progress aud of unwavering adherence to the upright principles which the company adopted at the beginning of its career. No inducement, however glittering, has ever been able to move the Mutual Benefit from its safe and wholesome doctrines. While conscientiously .avoiding the least departure from its old established maxims, the Mutual Benefit has, nevertheless, gained in strength year by year, with a regularity which, if 'monotonous, was certainly the monotony of excellence.—New York Insurance Journal, Dec. 1905. t Statement of Premiums and Dividends, Policy No. 45,605.
