The many policyholders of the Penn Mutual Life in this section will be both interested and gratified in know ing that the 56th year of the Company eclipsed all its prior records, bringing with it gains in insurance, assets and surplus. Particularly is it worth while to know that, as compared with last year, there were approximately the following gains: Ahklh. now £01,116,000. gain $0,433,000; .Surplus, 7,420.000. " 880,000$ Int. income 2,790,<"00. " 275,000; Preniß. reed 12,050,000. " 1.112,000 1 Ins. in force ;>0!J,000,000. " .'>3.000.000 } The expected death losses for the I year were $4,270,000; while the total i incurred amounted to but $2,790,000., 1 a saving from that source of over >1 480,000., largely due to excellent judgment on the part of the Company iu the acceptance of risks and attest ing the efficiency and care of the med ical and other departments concerned. While the new business written by 1 the Company last year was the largest in its history, amounting as it did to nearly $70,000,000., the expense! account as compared with the receipts i was two per cent less than that of the year before and probably not more : than two-thirds of that incurred by j those Companies which must depend • on their bigness rather than their j goodness for public support. The Penn Mutual while growing very rapidly is conservatively Jinan aged, its aim constantly being to obtain only that business which is consistent with conservative exjien- ! diture and careful selection. In plans for insurance, no Company excels the Penn Mutual in' the abso lute equity, liberality and freedom : front restriction of its policies and it may be safely said that the Penn Mutual is prepared from among it.s great number of different contracts to furnish one to cover every possible j form of life contingency. It is no longer debateable as to j whether or not Life Insurance as a ' | protection to the family is a necessity > and its use in providing a fund for old j age commends it to many people who wish to unite with it that form of I 1 provident provision. A somewhat ' j recent development is a policy provid ; ing for a Life Income at a very mod erate cost, and this contract is one which should in many cases be espec ially attractive. The Penn has beyond it a history of honorable dealing and steady growth ior fifty-six years, and this is due to i the high character and ability not j ; only of the management but to those j j who come into direct personal con- I tact with the policyholders,—the ! Agency force. Bourne & Durham of ■ Philadelphia have general supervision i over Uaslern and Central Pennsylvan | ia, and in this section the Company's I interests are efficiently cared for by M. A.

Life Insurance A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS ; WHY VOL SHOULD HAVE A POLICY WITH THE NEW YORK LIFE BKCAUSK--Incontestable from the date of issue. Because—absolutely without restrictions. Because non forfeitable from date of issue. Be cause—cash loans are provided after second year, on demand at 5 per cent interest without fee or other charge. Because—if death does not occur an accumulative policy is a highly profi table investment for the policy-holder who lives. Policies now maturing to living policy-holders prove this. In fact NEW YORK. LIFE policies do not leak. Health and Accident Insurance also written. A postal card will bring an agent to you. or a person interview can be had at the office Saturdays, regular office day. GEO.
