These prcmiuiua aru about tvrenty-tivu per ceiu. hrtrer than ihu?e charged ky Uu liial Companies. It also appeared, inasmuch ar the rates ?o e?tahlUhed were a* near at could poanlbly be deter minetlAitV rates, ami iitit in excess of Wltut lii.-nrauce baa nteviously tt?t the pulicy-haldera iu Mutual Coinpanie", that nny protita arising from prudrnt liianu^reuiciit jnatly and pi\?|Ufly be longed to ike stuckhulders of Ute Company, for the rUk incurred by thetu in iotdt*riaking il.c business. Experience has shown that there are source* of protil in the p'raette* mthe bui-incm which theory will not admit of being coiinitlcrcd as eleiueubt in the calculation ot iIk premium.-, 'there result from a saving in the mortality of the members of a Company owitig to the medival >elr< tion of good lives, a gain in int. re-t on tho iuveatmcntii of th? tompjoiy over that a??mnt-d in the calculation of its premium*, the profits derivable from the lupsing and ?iirrViiihr ol l'olieits hy the mcinbcrs, and from other minor hource'n. * Pro tits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capital of S'.'UO.OOO, and doing a fair amount ?>f business, would give to the stockholder* dividends largely in excess of ?hui ?et? counted on by tho Director* of the I'niverral at the time of its orgauir.ati?n. They have, tkeit fore, determined to divide among the policv-holdent of tho Company a large pail ot the probt accruing from the source* named, all of which have itereiofwro been dmded among the ?tot holders. The plan adopted for wich dividends i*.as follows: Every per?on who may kor?^ftrrf issuvu with the Universal will, for tho purpose of division, be treu ted as u Mockholdcr to the extent one Annual Premium uixtn his Policy; and vcill ?A?re in //?<* profit* of the Company lit pirrinly </? same extent a* a Stockholder owing on equal amount of the capital $to*k. itv this system of Insurance, original with the Universal, the policy-holder secure* the follu ing important advuntagus: KlRHrT. Insurance ul the regular "Stock" rates, requiring a primary outlay rf alfout In nit to thirty per rent. /<vi? than that charged by Mutuul ComjHinie?, and which i* etpiivaleut in vearly "dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mnlual rat??, Thii low coi-t of insurance is worthy of attention. Since it* organisation this company ha* received in premiums from its policy-holder* the. sum of $1,617,000. To effect the same amount of insuntuce in a Mutual Com pany would have cost them an initial outlay of *2,000,tK)0. ?y allowing it* policy-holder* to re tain in their own possession thia ex ecu of $483,000. the Univrr?al ha* virtually paid them n "dividend" of $183,000, and paid it, too, in ad\anee, instead of at the end of one or more y<?r? It i* impossible to iind any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance ?( so low a t os by returning to itn policy-holder* an etiual amount upon similar receipts. 'SECOND. Participation in ths legitimate jrofilt of the Company, upon a pin* vhieh iee%ree to the policy-holders the same treatment vhieh Directors aAd Stockholders uvurd to tUcmrtlxe*. This system of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates of premium, most necc^arily ?eeurr tu the poliey-holders every advantage to be derived from prudent aad careful management. 'Ihe low rate* of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee toihv policy-holder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of'the cost in w?dl managed mutual co in pah i ear while, by tho proposed plan of participation in what may ke considered the legiti mate profits of the busincM, tho cost will be still further diminished. Thus bv the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE INKITUNCK COMPANY otter* in surance ut itn loweat practicable, cost. 0&*TliOfte of the existing Policy-holder* who desire to participate in the Profit 'unri'- ?he new Plan can do so br making application to the Head Office, or to any of the Agents of the Com panv. 1 * ? 1 T The. company i> III a sound financial condition.
