D., Medical Examiner. -o THIS COMPANY offers the following IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES to those abont EFFECTING INSURANCE ON THEIR LIVES: 1. TuMirsDcu at .stock Rates, bel?g from 20 to 80 per coot, less tban the rats? charged by mutual companies. . . .. 2. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium un his Policy, and will ?bare in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock hold, r owning an equal amount of tbs Capital Stock. 3 Every Policy iueneo by the Company is non forfeitable, and contains a (clause stating its exact Kum oder Yaluo. Befara Insuring your Life or accepting the Agency of any Company, RKADTHE FOLLOW IS GU A lengthened experience bas demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by life insurance companies are from twenty-five to thirty par cent, in excess of ?hst are ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of tho business. In otber words, carefully and prudently-managed companies charging "mutual" rates have been able to return to their policy-holders from 25 to SO per cent, of the amount charged for premiums, , When life insmance companies were first organised, reliability of the data upon which pre-' mi u m s were constructed had not undergone test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no moro than common prudence to adopt a peale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed ana nnforeseen contingencies of the business. . .'rai As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it was better to fix lbs rats too-high than to incur the risk of making it too low; because, in the former case, the error could .be easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the policy-holders, at certain intervals, such portion of the premium oh arg? d as was found necessary for the purposes of the business and tho complote security of the company. ,i Experience, however, having aatisfaotoiily demonstrated that these rates are excessive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining t lu m? Availing themselves of this experience, tbe Directors and Managern of the Universal Life Insurance Company, it its organisation, adopt* d a scale of premiums in accordance there? with, and which bas provea to be fait and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the requiremeuts of the business. These premiums aro about twenty-five per cent, |pwer.than those charge by mutual companeis. It also appeared, inasmuch as tho rates so established were as near as could possibly bo determined fdr rates, and not in excess of what insurance ba* previously cost the policy? holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising fron;[prudent management Justly and properly belonged to tho stockholders of tho company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking the business. Experience bas shown that there are sources of profit in the practice ot tbe business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of the premiums. These results form a saving In th* mortality of the me robt rs cf & cosspas; swing to the ss dical selection of good lives, a gain in interest on the investments of the company over that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing and sur? render of policies by the members, and from other minor sources. Profits from these sources, in a company possessed of a capita1 of $200,000, and doing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in excoss of what wera counted on by tho Directors of the Universal at the time of its organization. They have, therefore.t'etermined to divide among the policy-holders of the company a large part of tba profits rtCr/umg from the sources named, all of which havo heretofore bosh divided among the stockholders. The plan adopted for snob division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, for the purposes of division, bo treated as a stockholder to extent ef ono annual premium upon his policy; and will share in the profits of the Company to precisely the same entent as a Stockholder owning an equal amount cf the Capiial Stock. By this system of insurance, original with .the Universal, the polioy-bolder secures the foi wing important advantages: 1. Insurance at the regular "stock" rates, re quiring a primary outlay of abont twenty to thirty per cent, less than that charged by mutual companies, and which ia equivalent toja yoarly "dividend" paid in : dvance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost of insur? ance is worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company has received in premiums from its policy-holders tho sum of (1,617,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them sn initial outlay of 12 O00.CQ0. By allowing it? policy, holders to reiain, in their own possession, thia excess ol $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a "dividend" of 1483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of tt the end of one or more years. It is impossible to find any example cf a mute?! sespsny furnishing insur? ance at so low a cost by returning to policy-holders ac eqnal amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation in the legitimate profits of the company, upon a plan which secure? to .tbs policy-holders tho same treatment which directors and stockholders award to themselves. Thia system of participation, in connection with the low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure to the policy-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent aud careful management. Tho low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policy-holder his insurance at a rate which is not in exoeas of tho cost in well managed mutual companies- whilo, by the proposed plan of participation in what may be considered the legitimate profits of the business, the cost will bo still further diminished. r hus by tho combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profits, it is confidently believed the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. S3-Those of the existing policy-holders who dosiro to participate in profits under the new plan oan do so by making application to tho bead office, or to any agents of tho company. The Company is in a sound financial condition. Ratio of Assets to Liabilities 180 to 100.
