WHAT IB TIIK BKMI-TONTIHK PLAN
Of TIIK NOKTHWKBTBKNT"
The growing popularity of this plan
renders desirable a single and untecu
nlcnl explanation nf Ita working.
"Soml-Toiillne" Is not a peculiar KIND
or Policy, but rather a peculnr way of
usliif pronta or dlvhlonds or ORtii-
nahv policies so as to produce extra-
ordiuary results. HupOHe 1000 of us
take policies In the company this year
on auch of the various plansns we may
each prefer. Ordinarily eauh one
would receive cash dividends to reduce
his payments in future years; but In
view of certain advantages to be gained,
we apree with one another, in this
case, to forego dividends for a certain
period of time, say 10, lfi or 20 years
that Is, tlie surplus earned on our ik.II-
rics Is allowed to accumulate for that
length of time, and then, the proceeds
are divided among those of our num
ber who live out the time and pay all
the premiums. If any of us dicdurlng
the thtterour-Ttetrs get a full amount
of the policy, hut have no share In this
rumt of dividends. 1 rany or usstoppuv.
lor sfter 3 vcar. we net tmved no noli.
cUt, but lit dividends. None of us can
drawn dollar from the fund till the end
of the period, though we can have a
siatcmcnc or our contingent interest
in It at any tjme we like after
three years. Finally at thoendofihe
peritnl, the entire accumulation Is di
vided among those who have lived and
itsfd throuirli tlie time. Now let us
see how tlie p'an works. In the first
place the runtl Is constantly increasing
dividends are added to dividends, tlie
compouna interval is piling up, ana
the fund grows faster and faster, year
after year, till it reaches a large aum
at the end of the period. In the mean
time the numlier of persons interested
Is constantly uecreastng; some amp
out and Home die not many at firat
but more nnd more time
(.aiweft and the insured irrow older, no
that every year a hows more money In
the fund and a lem nunitier of persons
lo elmro It. Now auppxxe, at the end
of 10, 15 or 3l years, aa t license may lie,
(here are persona h-ft, of tbe origi
nal 1,000. When the division in made
thete 4O0 will get all the dividends that
would otherwise have heen paid to the
1,000, with ncetimulationa at : compound
inten'flt. The odvantaKes to the 400
are apparent at a pltinee, and at the
aatne time the pi tin is eminently Junt
and equitable to all, for It trivea 1 he J N
HtTKANiK to the representatives of those
who die, and the pro lit a to those who
prove profitable by living, while thonc
who cense paying during the period
are entitled to paid up insurance, thus
doing away with the tifds of forfeiture
In cane of inability to continue pay
ment of premiums. Finally, at the
end of the period each policy-hot. lor In
allowed his choice of several method
i of settlement. He may eimuly draw
i in cam. nts snare oi me accunituaieo
dividends and continue his insurance
or besides drawing his dividends, ho
may terminate his policy and draw
out his entire cash value, thus making
his insurance practically an endow
men t or he need not draw any caatt,
but may take the entire value in paid
up insurance, provided he is then In
good health. No mnti can tell how he
will le situated It), lo or 20 years hence.
He may lie in need of money or he
may not want money but want Insur
ance. By thin plan he may have alt.
MONEY, or AM. IXSl'KAXCK, or PART
op each, as suits htm best at the
time. In view of the many changes
that are certain to occur in such a
period of time, and esjwciHlly of the
tremendous risk of hustiies (and b ta
ilzies show that only three out of a
hundred business men are perman
ently successful,) It Is hiirdly possible
to overestimate the importance of these
privileges.
It is the deliberate judgment of many
of the very best businessmen of the
country that the perfect tSeml-Tontine
of the "Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance Company is the best thing in
the way of Life Insurance evereftered,
and that this is strongly endorsed by
Albany's business men is fully attested
by the fact of the following

Gentlemen; Altho it is very unusual
for me to use any lotions or
washes, still, in answer to your
request, I have tried Wisdom's
Violet Cream and Kohertine. The
former I consider especially eOicacious
in cases of roughness of the skin, and
I have been using it every day for the
last fort night. I have fou n d the
Robertine an excellent preparation- in
casees of tan, sunburn, etc., caused by
exposure to March winds and a July
sun. Yours faithfully,
