AMERICAN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COM¬ 
PANY. 
Office No 40 Wall Street , N. Y. 
LIFE INSURANCE upon the plan adopted by this Company, 
is founded upon the principle of contribution in the shape of an¬ 
nual premiums to a common fund, proportioned to the amount 
insured, out of which the Company pay a stipulated sum on the 
death of the assured to the person for whose benefit the insur¬ 
ance is effected. 
After a thorough investigation of the different systems adopted 
in Europe and America, and of the rates of premium charged, 
this company have reduced the premium 25 per cent, payable 
in cash, annually, semi-annually, or quarterly, as may be pre¬ 
ferred, under a firm conviction that the exigencies of the Com¬ 
pany vviil never exceed and seldom require one half of the an¬ 
nual premium now charged by the English and American Com¬ 
panies, which reduction will still leave alarge margin forseasons 
of xmusnal sickness and death among its members—preferring to 
reduce the premiums at once to an amount more nearly approxi¬ 
mating the actual necessities of the Company than to adopt the 
system of premium notes which is attended with many disadvan¬ 
tages. 
The leading features of this Company are — 
1. A guarantee capital of $50,000, which together with the ac¬ 
cumulating premiums is deemed adequate to meet every contin¬ 
gency. 
2. A reduction in the rates of premiums—payable annually, 
semi-annually, or quarterly, as may be preferred. 
3. The assured participate annually in the profits. 
4. Insurance may bi®effected by any married woman upon the 
life of her husband, for her sole use and benefit, free from any 
claims of the representatives of her husband, or any of his credi- 
5. No personal liability of the members beyond the amount of 
their annual premium of insurance. 
6. Creditors may insure the lives of their debtors, or debtors 
themselves may insure for the protection of their creditors. 
A prospectus has been issued (which can be had at the office 
of the Company, or any of its agents), explanatory of the terms 
and conditions of insurance.
