Oregon Life, known as Oregon's successful life insurance com pany, started business in 1906, ami in that year its premium income on poli cies written was $25,474. In 1914 the premium collections of Oregon Life amounted to $268,278, showing a net gain of $242,804 in its yearly premium Income. Not one of the 60 other com panies operating in this state, old or young-. Eastern. Western or Pacific Coast companies, has made anywhere near as great a gain in, Oregon in yearly premium Income as Oregon Life did. This shows that the supremacy of Oregon Life is growing greater year by year, and that Oregonians are giving Oregon Life preference over all other companies. Adv. Sixth Recttai. Is Tonight.
