SIX REASONS WHY
j v '
YOU SHOULD INSXTBB IN
THE PENN MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
921 CHESTSUT STREET,
PHILADELPHIA. ,
1st. Because it is one of the oldest
companies in tbc country, and, past tlie
dky ot experiments. - . : . ... ..
2d. Because every policy holder is
a member of the Company, entitled to
all us advantages and privilege?, hav
iug a right to vote at all elections for
trustees, and thus has an. influence iu
its management, j " " ' . J
3d Because it has the largest accu
mulated fui.d of any Lite Insurance
Company in the State.'
4th. Because by economical man
agement, its ratio of expenses totottd
income is lax below the average ot Life
Companies, (See Official Insurance
Reports.) '!-?'' - .
5th. Because it has declared more
dividends in number, and of a larger
average percentage, than any Company
in the United States.
For example; Polwy No 16, for
5000, has been paid to the widow of
a Philadelphia merchant, upon which
twency-:hree dividends had been de
clared, aveiagmg fifty -seven percent.
Had these dividends . been used to pur
chase additions to this' policy, $5,046
moie would have been realized mak
ng the policy. worUi $11,046. ,
6th. Because it is liberal in its man
agement, prompt in its setttlements,
sate beyond a contingency, and its rates
are as low as any first-class Company
in the country.
Principal Features. - Small expenses,
absolute security .large return premiums,
prompt payment ot losses, and liberali
