The SEVEN PER CENT BONDS OF THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD 
COMPANY are issued in the denominations of $1 ,000 each, interest payable July and January, both principal 
and interest payable in United States Gold Coin, in the City of New York. The price of these bonds for the present 
is 90 and accrued interest—that is, a $1,000 bond would cost to-day $907.S6. At the present price of gold, 
the income derived is equal to nearly nine per cent in currency. With the vapidly increasing 
business of the road, its commanding importance as another great cast and west trunk line, its complete roadway 
of 420 miles, the princely wealth of iron, coal, salt, and timber along its route, its tapping at its Western 
terminus on the Ohio River over 12,000 miles of water navigation, its Eastern terminus resting on the tidewaters 
of the Atlantic Ocean, and the fact that the other great parallel trunk lines arc being compelled to lay additional 
tracks to meet the enormous and steadily augmenting traffic between the East and West—all warrant us in our belief 
that the securities of the Chesapeake and Ohio are destined to attain a high rank in the markets of the world. At 
present, Government bonds are so high, and really desirable permanent investment securities at a reasonable price 
so difficult to be obtained, it is very gratifying to ns to have these bonds for our friends and customers. 
We also have a small amount of the OLD SIX PER CENT tiOLSD BONDS OF THE CHESA¬ 
PEAKE AND OHIO; the price of these is 8S'/j and accrued interest. They are issued in denominations of 
$100, $500, and $1,000, interest payable May and November. Underlying as they do a property that has cost nearly 
$38,000,000, and which is constantly increasing in value, they need no recommendation. The small remaining 
balance will soon be absorbed.

We also buy and sell the Central and Western Pacific Gold Bonds at the market price. 
The Central Pacific Company has now over 1,200 miles of completed road, and its earnings this year will reach 
upward of $13,000,000. Their securities should rank with those of the Government itself. 
We also continue to deal in Government Bonds, execute orders at the Stock Exchange for investment Stocks 
and Bonds, receive deposits on which we allow interest at the rate of four per cent per annum, and conduct a 
general banking business.

The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co 
OFFERS TO IZVSTJIfcEIiS THE ADVANTAGES OF 
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 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 new business is considered. For further information 
regarding the Company, write to Home Office, Milwaukee, Wis.

For six years the Doty Washer and Universal Wringer 
have been invaluable members of my kitchen family, 
and I have found them most efficient aid in the weekly 
task of cleansing clothes. Every assistant I have had 
has readily learned how to use them, and been delighted 
with the ease with which their work is accomplished. 
I would that every housekeeper possessed these valuable 
labor-saving machines.— Laura E. Ltman, Editress
