PURELY MUTUA^LIFE INSURANCE. 
NEW YORK 
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 
ESTABLISHED 1845. 
Home OfTioBf Hos. I 9 2 and 1 14 Broadway, Hew York. 
ASSETS, OVER $5,000,00 0—S ECURELV INVESTED. 
[See 21s# Annual Report April No. Agriculturist.) 
This is one of the OLDEST, SAFEST, and most SUCCESSFUL Life Insurance Companies In the United States, and 
offers advantages not excelled, and In some respects not equaled, by any otlier. Its Trustees in New York city are of 
the very first and most reliable names. 
It is Strictly Mutual, the Policy-Holders Receiving the Entire Proiits, 
Special care in the selections of its risks—strict economy—and a safe and judicious investment of its 
funds—emphatically characterize the management of this Company. -jgFJ 
dividends are, and a!way§ liave keen Beclared AunuaSDj'. 
The mortality among its members has been proportionately less than that of any other Life Insurance Company In Araerl-- 
ca—a result consequent on a most careful and judicious selection of lives, and one of great importance to policy-holders. 
It offers to the assured the most abundant security in a large accumulated fund, amounting now to over 
FIVE W1 I L L I O N S OF DOLLARS. 
It accommodates its members in the settlement of their premiums, by granting, yvhen desired, a credit at once on account 
of future dividends, thus furnishing Insurance for nearly double the amount for about the same cash payment as is re* 
quired in an “all-cash company.” 
The Annual Income, exclusive of Interest on Investments, NOW EXCEEDS 
TWO A-IsTID A. HATIU MILLIOOSTS Oin 3301L.31iAIY@. 
TMIS COMPANY 
ORIGINATED AND INTRODUCED THE NEIY FEATURE KNOAVN AS 
THE non-forfeiture PLAN, 
which is rapidly superseding the old system of life-long payments, and HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE SYSTEM OF LIFE 
INSURANCE IN THE UNITED STATES, and yvhich has been adopted (generally in a le.ss favorable form) by all Life 
Companies; thus attesting the force of public opinion in favor of a system so favorable to policy holders as that established 
by the NEyv York Life for the benefit of Us members. ■■ 
It has received the unqualified approval of the.best business melf in the land, large numbers of yvhom have taken out 
policies under it, purely as an investment. 
AT 
THE END OF TEN YEARS 
By the table on yvhicli this class of policies is based, a person incurs no risk in taking out a policy. Insuring to-day for 
$5,000, if he dies to morrow, the $5,000 immediately becomes a cl.aim; and if he lives ten years, and makes ten ammiil pay¬ 
ments ills policy is paid up—notliing more to pay, and still his dividends continue, making 
HIS I. IFE POLICY, 
A SOURCE OF immi TO wm while livsisg. 
The only weighty argument offered against Life Insurance is that a party miglit pay in for a number of yews, and then, 
by inadvertence. Inability, etc., he unable to continue paying, thereby losing all lie had paid. The “New York Life ” 
liave obviated this objection by their „ _ 
TEN YEAR N 0 N - E 0 R F E IT TJ R E PLAN. 
A party, by this table, after tlie second year, 
CANNOT FORFEIT ANY PART OF WHAT HAS BEEN PAID IN, 
Tims, if one Insuring by tliis pl.an for $10,000 discontinues after the second year, lie is entitled to a PAID-UF POLICY, 
according to the number of years paid in, viz.: 
Second year, two-tentlis of $10,000 (amount Insured), amounting to $2,000, with dividend on saiiie for life. 
Third year, three-tenths of " “ “ „ 
Fourth year, four-tenths of “ “ “ „ „ 
Fifth year, five-tenths of " “ “ . 
And so on until the tenth annual payment, lohen all is paid, and dividends still conUnue during the life-time of the assured. 
This feature, among otliers, has given to this Company a success unparalleled in tlie liistory of Life I»sm-ance
