The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. 
OFFERS TO INSURERS THE ADVANTAGES OE 
HIGH 
LOW 
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 , 891.13 was loaned at ten per cent 
interest, payable semi-annually. The basis of reserve held by the Company (actuaries’ four per 
cent) is the highest standard in use in America. Not more than one Company in ten holds so 
high a reserve. 
RATE OF MORTALITY AND WORKING EXPENSES. 
The rate of mortality experienced by the 1 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 witli 
those of other companies, when volume of new business is considered. For further information 
regarding the Company, write to Homo Office, Milwaukee, Wis.
