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

 of a conductor has invariably protected under 

 the conditions employed.

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, oyer 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.
