RATE OF INTEREST ON INVESTMENTS AND A HIGH RESERVE FUND. 
The Company now has loaned $6,490,545.13 upon first-class real estate, security valued at 
$23,488,131.00. During the year 1872, the amount of $2,300,801.13 was loaned at ten per cent 
interest, payable semi-annually. The basis of reserve lield by the Company (actuaries' four per

The rate of mortality experienced by the Northwestern for the past ten years has been 
lower than that of any other leading company. In 1872, its interest receipts exceeded its death 
losses by nearly a quarter of a million dollars. Its working expenses are very small compared with 
those of other companies, when volume of now business i - considered. For further information
