Omaha, Neb., Dec. 13, 1903.
Mr. II. D. Neely, Manager,
Equitable Life Assurance Society,
Omaha, Nebraska.
My Dear Sir:
- Twenty-one years ago ray brother, Sam
uel L. Savidge, judge of the lOtlj District
Court of Nebraska, took out a policy in the
Equitable Life of New York for f 5,000. He
made one payment on this policy and died
before the expiration of the year, and his
widow promptly received the $5,000.00.
This fact so impressed me tbat on return
. ing from his funeral, twenty years ago to-day,
I took out a thousand dollar policy in
the Equitable Life on the Ordinary Life
plan, running twenty years.
ThatK period is up today, and the Com
pany has paid me $257.79 dividend and per
'mlts me to continue the original policy
through my life, paying what I have paid
luring the past namely, $24.78 per year,
which will be reduced by annual dividends.
I am highly pleased with the treatment
the Equitable Society have'gfven me, and
wherever it is possible I shall say a kind
word for them. My only regret is that I
did not take out ?5,000, in 18S3, instead of
the sum I did.
I have had an uncommon experience and
a wide observation, having been a minister
for nearly 27 years, most of that time in
large cities, and I would advise all young
men as soon as possible to take out an in
surance policy in a good company, like the
Equitable, and stay with it.
I am, very sincerely yours,
CHARLES. W. SAVIDGE
