- LIFE: Why Have You Not Made This Known to Me Before ? Is the question that many a man asks when he first learns that in The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, OF SPRINCFIELD, MASS., M. V. B. EDGERLY, Pres. JOHN A. HALL, 8ec. he can insure his life, with the privilege of retiring, on any anniversary of his policy date, after the first, with a generous surrender value in cash or in paid-up insurance. Well, the Company is trying to make it known, and to publish to all, the fact that these surrender values are fixed by law and stated in the policy, and furthermore guaranteed by ample assets. $12,239,529.16 LIABILITIES, JANUARY st, 1892 11,236,837.26 SURPLUS (MASSACHUSETTS STANDARD) 1,002,691.91 LINTON J.
