EXTRACTS FROM 66e Fifty-Second Annual Report OF THE fciiwesferi liitiial if Insurance Company of Milwaukee, Wis. Assets 8262,441,989.28 Insurance in Force $1,012,869,095.00 7V Gain of Insurance in Force "The increase of insurance in force was $68,322,477, being greater than that ol any other companv in the world, and $5,309,450 larger than that of this company in 1908." No more accurate gauge of the satisfaction of the present membership could be adduced." Dividends "The dividends paid ($10,339,913 67) again exceed those of any other company in the world up to 1909, the last available data, being greater in amount than any other company ever paid in any previous year during the whole history of the business." Expenses New Business Written ind Paid For 'Tift new business written and paid for an increase of over that in 1908, which up to that time was the largest in the history of the Com -pany." The rate of expense involved in the management of this Company has always been exceptionally low, and was lower for the year 1909 than ever before. For each $100 expended in commissions on new business, medical examinations, agency expenses, advertising and all other expenses chargeab'e to new business, there was written by the Northwestern in 1909 $5,935 of new insurance, with a gain of $3,452.

During 1908 (last available data) the leading twenty-fivi companies wrote on the average $3,807 and gained but $429 for each $100 expended. The expenditure in administering the affairs of the Home Office has been equally conservative. The salaries of officers and clerks, salaries and expenses of committees and trustees, in fact the entire expense incident to the investment of forty-nine millions of income and two hundred and sixty millions of assets and a thousand millions of insurance in force, aggregated only 3.67 per cent of the premium income. This is much less than the average of all companies, which was 5.02 per cent in 1908." Rates of Interest The rate of interest on mean ledger assets increased from 4.84 per cent in 1908" to 4.98 per cent in 1909, which increase is equivalent tD a gain of $350,559." Mortality The mortality of last year was exceptional, the amount paid in death losses being less than in 1908, nstwithstanding the greater volume of insurance in force; the actual loss was but 87-100 of one per cent of the mean amount at risk, or $8 68 per thousand of the insurance in force. Intelligent care in the selection of risks, critical study of facts bearing upon longevity as indicated by the tabulated experience of the companies, and rigid exclusion of territory where health conditions are considered unfavorable, have resulted in a saving which has' been and will continue to be a large factor in reducing the cost of insurance to those who secured policies in this Company." nmnrr- TAnrr.iiimnrrm.i tiay ipv iTAf 1YPF1 IIJII I nETFIlfE DV MWI THE AIUIMITAT DEDADT New Policy Contract "It is believed that the new policy of the Northwestern more clearly and definitely meets the needs not only of insurers for any proper purpose but that it covers, a larger line of contingencies, and is more adaptable to changed and changing conditions than any other life insurance policy on the market.

A life insurance policy extends over a longer period of time and is more important to the policy-holder and his family than any other contract he ever makes. It is the part of wisdom, therefore, to select with care the contract most likely to meet the needs pf the family at the time it is issued, and one which may readily be modified to suit future needs and conditions."
