ALL THE PROFITS, WITHOUT ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY.

It has, therefore, all the advantages and security of a Stock and Mutual Co. combined, without their separate disadvantages. Dividends to Policy-Holders once credited, are never forfeited. Proportion of Assets to Liabilities LARGER than most other Companies in the United States. Liberality and Promptitude in the settlement of Claims. All reasonable aid granted to Members to enable them to KEEP THEIR POLICIES IN FORCE in case of their inability to pay their future premiums.
