A PERFECT FINANCIAL PROBLEM.
A Square Deal.
ft. W. Carey, General Agent for
the Paoifio Mutual Life Ids. Co.
of California, hoc placed before us
one of the most perfect plans of In
surance we have ever seen. It gives
a person bis insurance and a bank
account at the Hamo outlay that is
usually required to maiutain insur
ance alone. Your money is not yaid
Hut, it is only dMMited and all your
insurance costs you is the interest
on your money. lti instance, a per
son a&ed 4U, on the old plans of in
surance, would, if be wished tu pay
a single premium for 1,000, pay
out f 4')0 while on this plan he would
deposit tl'iO subject to his order af
any time, and while it rnunius, they
coutruct and guarantee to keep his
policy iu force. Should bo dio bis
heirs receive $1,450. They also
agree to pay any, interest earnod in
excess of 7 per cent., 7 per cent, be
ing required to keop the I'olicy in
force, that is $31. :) is tho annua!
promiun of a person a;;ed 10. Should
ho desire to cease his connection
with the Co. he can draw out his de
posit and receivo a paid up Policy for
the a-nount paid, llus principle
extends through tho annual tubles
as well as timjU payinouU, so a man
insuring on thelO years'puymcntphm
will bo ponuitttd to draw out his
'principal, or tho full amount paid.
Ofcournohi-i iin'iiatiso hat only
cost him tho interest on his money.
The l'acifio Mutual U daserving of I
of success. It is tho only legitimate
Life Insurance Co. ou this coast. All
its funds are invested hero where
interest U high and wheie it will de
velop our resources. Money in
worth from 4 to C per cent, iu the
Kaitrrn Stales, ou this cor.st at leat
ripureeut. Nmv see tho differ
ence botoen tho interest accumula
tions on a dollar nt the Ku.it and on
a dollar here: Ono dollar paid iu od
vnnco for 50 year with compound
interest nt fi per cent., amount to
$;)7.7t, at VI per cent, it amount
to S'J.CifcS. Now where will you in-
sure, in Lnstern lo. swnere mo
enriiinns are 4, 5, or C per cent, or
in a hoiim company wuoro 1. per
