WHY

[5884

RE POLICIES of the EQCITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY of the UNITED STATES to be preferred before those of any fiher Company?

BECAUSE Equitable Polices are to the end. ing assurers what Consols are the investor BECAUSE the Equitable is the strangest Life Company in the world, having over Mil- lions sterling of Surplus, and BECAUSE Surplus not only means financial strength, but is also the fund from which dividends to policyholders are paid. BECAUSE Dividends to policyholders must be carned before they can be paid, and during the last ten years the Equitable's Surplus Earnings have been larger than those of any other Company.

BECAUSE during the past five years the Equit- able has paid cach year more than £400,000 in dividends to policyholders. No other Company can point to such a record. BECAUSE the Policies of the Equitable are paid more promptly than those of any other Company.

AND THEREFORE BECAUSE a man assur- ing the Equitable secures a contract backed by the Contfany which is the ŝtrongest in the world; which cars greater profits, and which pays its Policies more promptly than KY other Company.
