THE LIFE BRANCH Offers the Guarantee of an ample Capital, together with its accumulated funds, exemption of the Assured from liability of partnership to which Policy-holders in Mutual Offices are subject, Moderate Premiums, Division of Profits every five years, three-fourths of which are appropriated to participating Policies.
