LIFE- TO SUPPOSE THAT EACH OF THE ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST ON THE “CITY OF COLUMBUS” OR IN THE “CRESTED BUTTE MINE” HAD BEEN INSURED IN T»United States Mutual Accident Association, It would be necessary by a like reasoning to infer a case of | Universal Insurance, And that every man, woman and child in the United States were members of said Association, in which case a loss of One Million Dollars upon the one hundred lives COULD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID BY A TAX OF TWO CENTS UPON EACH MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATION. THE UNITED STATES MUTUAL ACCIDENT ASSOCIATION had no risks upon that ill-fated steamer or in the “Crested Butte Mine,” although | it has fifteen thousand policy-holders residents of twenty-five hundred different towns and cities in the United States. The most intelligent insurance experts in the United States agree that by such a system of general average, liability to great losses in any one calamity is reduced to the minimum, thus indicating the sound and conservative business management of this Association. THE UNITED STATES MUTUAL ACCIDENT ASSOCIATION carries a surplus sufficient to pay every valid claim immediately upon receipt of proof, and at a saving to the insured of one-half the usual cost of accident insurance in stock companies. It has paid upward of twenty-five hundred claims, aggregating more than a quarter of a million dollars, and has no contested nor unpaid claims. The cost of $5,000 Accident Insurance, with $25 Weekly Indemnity, is about $12 per annum for assessments, which may be paid at one time, if preferred. Member- ship fee, $5. To become a member.—Write for circular and application blank, and when received, fill out your application, inclose $5, and forward it to the Secretary at New York, on receipt of which, policy will be promptly mailed to you.
