Insurance. '
TUB HOMK FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY
of Omaha was organized in 1884 , and lias
done a largo nnd successful business ,
having written $000,000.00 In premiums ,
and paid over twelve hundred losses to
the people of Nebraska. Tlio company's
success has been admired and its-honor
able record In fair and courteous dealing
with its patrons has made it well and
favorably known throughout the state.
The Homo Fire now has $300,000 In as
sets , and is the largest , strongest and
best state company in Nebraska.
Every dollar of thecapltalof IlioIIomo
'Flro Insurance company is hold by re
sponsible citUonsof Nebraska , and each
otlicorof the company has $10,000 or
moro invested in the company , and the
value of the private propoity of all the
stockholders is over $5,000,000.00. ,
Nebraska people appreciate a good
thing when they see it. This is piovon
by the way in which the business ol tlio
Now England Mutual Lifo insurance
company has grown since they entered
the state for business t\\o and one-half
years ago.
Besides being the oldest line company
In the country it has always hnil the
reputation among business mon of being
very economically and conservatively
managed , paying liberal distributions of
surplus annually.
An examination of their contract
shows plainly another reason for Us
popularity , viz : The high cash surren
der and paid-up values which the Massa
chusetts law compels them to endorse on
every policy , malting it cnshablo any
year for the assurod's equity , if ho
chooses to discontinue.
Tholr Nebraska uianngor , Mr. W. J.
Fifccher , reports business 50 per cent
ahead of 1S80.

VS. LKVCL I'RKMIUSI PLANS.
The natural premium system provides
for current and future mortuary pay
ments of death losses and actual expen
ses. The level premium does the same ,
plus excessive charges Tor the creation
of a reserve. Uatural premium com
panies charge from $2,40 to $1 per
thousand insurance in force for an.v ago ,
upon the equitable principal that it costs
no more to write policies for middle aged
or old mon than for younger men. Cost
at ngo thirty on natural premium plan ,
$11.42 per $1,000find divided , stands $2.-JO
for expenses and 89.02 for mortuary ele
ment. Level premium cost same ngo

disparagement In level premium calcula

to contribute $17,22 for expenses while
the man aged thirty contributes only
$0.19. The reserve moment , level pre
mium or old line companies assort -la
essential to perpetuity and will bo needed
to pay for increasing mortuary losses.
In 1885 a table was prepared ombtacing
a period of thirty-seven years of thirteen
old line companies. During this period
war , epidemics and all. other emergen
cies were experienced which could tend
to effect our mortality and yet the ratio
did not materially Increase. The ratio
of the then oldest thirteen level pre
mium companies did not exceed $111.24
per 81,000 insurance In force , tno high
est $10.8. ) , the lowest $10.10 and the av-
erngo M3.G1. If this excessive reserve
Is needed to pay to policy holders , why
is it that while in some of the level pre
mium companies this reserve continues
to Increase notwithstanding tholr mor
tality largely decreased. Want of space
precludes our making any further anal
ysis of this subject , but if any reader desires -
sires inoro light on thla Important matter -
tor you are Invited to call in person or
