THE

NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE CO.,

346 & 348 BROADWAY,

During its thirty years of business, the Company has—

There is nothing desirable and practicable in Life Insurance which this Company does not furnish, whether that be perfect security, equity of management, or adaptability of plans to the public need; there is nothing undesirable and avoidable which it does not avoid.

It originated, in 1860, the celebrated "Non-forfeiture" plan, which has since been adopted by every other company. Its "Tontine Investment Policy" has won the unqualified commendation of the ablest actuaries and of the ablest business men.

Men of good reputation, able to devote the whole or even a part of their time in procuring business for this Company, will be liberally compensated for the work accomplished. For terms and conditions, apply to the Home Office of the Company, or any of its General Agencies.
