At age 40 the rate is s3l 23 per SIOOO In twenty years, the premiums amount to $624 00, less the SSOO then paid, leaves the net cost (without taking dividends and interest into account,) of $124. 60 in twenty years, or only $0 23 per year, while co-operative companies usually admit probable assessments of $lO per year to carry every SIOOO payable at death.
