cupying the Alexander Cochrane

So attached have the family become 
to the North Shore that they will un- 
doubtedly return here next season if 
they can find a suitable place. 
Henry C. Frick, who recently re-

late Mrs. Henry Whitman at Beverly 
Farms, and was thoroughly charmed 
with the place. They took possession 
early in Juneand would have remained 
late in the autumn but fora trip they 
had planned to make to Alaska, which 
obliged them to leave the middle of 
August. In the early fifties the late 
Mr. Franklin Haven bought a vast 
tract of land along the shore, and the 
Whitman place is a part of it. Mrs. 
Cabot of Brookline, a daughter of the 
late Col. Thomas Handyside Perkins, 
bought this lot of Mr. Haven, and it 
descended to her daughter, the wife 
of Col. Henry Lee, who planted the 
trees which now make the place so at- 
tractive. This year Mr. Frank B. 
Bemis and his family of Brookline 
have the place.

THE NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF BOSTON, MAS- 
SACHUSETTS, is a company of magnificent strength; it is a company whose record of 
over SIXTY YEARS is a large part of all that is beneficent and honorable in the history 
of life insurance. 
Hon. FREDERICK L. CUTTING, Insurance Commissioner, in his recent annual report 
just issued, in speaking of the NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL and two other companies, says: 
‘These are all old and well-seasoned companies, the youngest being several years past 
its golden anniversary. 
They are not ‘big’ companies according to modern notions of 
bigness, but are growing normally and are managed by conservative men.’’ 
Of the three companies that the Commissioner so highly commends, the NEW ENG- 
LAND MUTUAL is considerably the oldest. 
It is a Boston company, and has been man- 
aged and conducted by such Boston men as have had much to do with the development 
of the city during the two generations that have passed. The NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL 
is practically a Savings Bank Life Insurance Company. 
*‘ But, nevertheless, there are companies which have been satisfied with moderate 
growth on a permanent basis. 
There are officers who know that size doesn’t necessarily 
indicate strength, that a small company may be relatively stronger than a larger one, 
that it may do better year after year by its policy-holders, and, knowing these things, 
have to be content with a moderate pace. 
People are not going to cease to buy life in- 
surance, but the wiser ones are going to exercise more care in choosing the company and — 
selecting the policy.’’-— Commissioner Cutting. 
We sincerely recommend the NEW ENGLAND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY to the 
good people of the North Shore.
