IVeTi' Method of Protecting Property 

 from Lightning. 



The Lightning Dispeller. 



Price, $20 to $30.— According to size. 



The Patent Lightning Dispeller is a conduc- 

 tor specially designed to dissipate the energy 

 of a lightning discharge, — to prevent its 

 doing harm, — placing something in its path 

 upon which its capacity for causing damage 

 may be expended. 



No recorded case of lightning stroke has 

 yet been cited against the principle of the 

 Dispeller. So far as known, the dissipation 

 of a conductor has invariably protected under 

 the conditions employed. 



Correspondence solicited.

THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL 

 LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 



Stands to-day, as it has done for 

 so many years, in advance of all 

 competitors. 



Its settlements of Tontine con- 

 tracts taken ten years ago show 

 1891 surplus results of from 45 to 

 70 per cent, in excess of other 

 companies. 



Its annual dividend-paying pol- 

 icies are returning two, three, and 

 in some cases nearly four times 

 the dividends under similiar poli- 

 cies of our chief competitors. 



The Northwestern's investment 

 contracts, affording the highest 

 guaranteed incomes on the cost, 

 are far more profitable than 

 any similar contract elsewhere ob- 

 tainable. The Northwestern also 

 has by far the largest percent- 

 age of real surplus excluding Ton- 

 tine accumulations, over valuation 

 of real estate, market value of 

 securities over cost, etc. 



The charter of the Northwestern 

 prevents investments in fluctu- 

 ating securities, and absolutely 

 provides against the misuse of 

 proxies. 



If you care for an exact state- 

 ment at your age, giving results 

 and cost of policies, you can ob- 

 tain same by requesting proposi- 

 tion by mail for a policy combining 

 cheap life insurance and invest- 

 ment feature or income for old age, 

 as an added value — naming yearly 

 cost not to be exceeded on given 

 age at nearest birthday.
