35 CENTS PER YEAR. The colorld VOL. V. No. 52. NEW YORK JANUARY 1898. MONTHLY EDITION. The World Almanac AND Encyclopedia 1898 ISSUED BY THE PRESS PUBLISHING CO., PULITZER BUILDING, NEW YORK. BECAUSE It is one of the strongest companies in the world. It is purely mutual, and all of its assets, surplus, and earnings belong to its policy-holders. It has an honorable record of 53 years, during all of which time it has steadily increased in strength and prosperity. Its policies as now issued contain no restriction as to residence, travel or occupation, habits of life, or manner of death. The SOLE condition is that if premiums are paid the Company will certainly pay the policy immediately in the event it becomes a claim by death, and thus leave a widow or an estate a legacy and not a law-suit. Its policies cannot be forfeited after three years, and if premiums are discontinued, the insured will receive either a paid-up policy or extended insurance, as he may elect. It gives a grace of one month in the payment of premiums. Its policies will be re-instated at any time during the five months following the month of grace if the insured passes a medical examination and pays the back premium with interest. You can borrow money from the Company at 5 Per Cent per annum, after your policy has been three years in force. You do not have to DIE TO WIN. If you live 10, 15, or 20 years' you can settle your policy in any way that best suits your circumstances at the time--for cash, paid-up insurance, annuity, or other options. If you live to the end of the term you will have made a substantial provision for yourself in old age, and if you die before the end of the term you will have made a substantial provision for your family or your estate. It is the most valuable estate you will leave behind you, more certain in its results than lands, houses, stocks, or bonds, as its value does not rise and fall with the market. The New York Life Insurance Company is the ONLY company in which you can get ALL of these benefits on equally favorable terms. You want the very best-the most privileges and the fewest restrictions, whether small or greatand the New York Life's Accumulation Policy furnishes it. The New York Life is the only large Life Insurance Company that closes its books on December 31st, each year, and makes its Detailed Annual Report early in January, upon the basis of Paid-for Business, and publishes a full and complete Statement of how and where the policy-holders' money is invested. 2 GENERAL INDEX.
