25, 1894. llr. Woods White, General Agent, Northwestern Mutual Life Ins, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I have this day received notice of the expiration of the 10-Year Semi-Tontine -dividend period of my ordinary life policy for $2,000 in the Northwestern Mutual. The figures given show the results offered me at this time are in excess of the figures given me ten years ago by the agent.

This is highly eatisfactory and is clear and unmistakable evidence of the honesty and fairness of tho Northwestern and the liberality of its dividends. My settlement with the Compiny shows my actual outlay for 10 year' insurance for $2,000, of the safest and surest kind, to have been only $S1 29, or $6 12 per year for 2.0C0. I have seen nothing so cheap and yet so safe. Yours truly, (Signed) W. W.

Scott, Agt. G. P. Ey. To prove the lower cost of the Northwestern, as asserted at; the head of this column, let us euppose llr.

I am carrying a large amount of life insurance in the leading companies in the conn' competitors, but its dividends re try and I find on comparison with my other policies in the Northwestern Mutual, that turned and cash value guaranteed are your company gives me much larger dividends than any of the others and since I know with what safety and conservatism the affairs of your company are administere 1, and having had occasion many times to be reminded of the careful, judicious and economica manner in which its affairs are transacted, I have increased my insurance in the North both materially higher. Hence please remember The lower cost of the Northwestern is not due to lower premiums charged, hut to larger dividends returned, Dividend on similar policy in 1893, $99 30. western to the full limit, $50,000. I would gladly increase it fur-ther if your com pany would isfue policies for larger amounts.
