19THE EQUITABLE is a Western Company, its policies are liberal and modern, without restriction as to residence or travel; provide for paid up insurance in case of lapse, and are secured by a deposit of the entire reserve with the State, as required by Statute. Companies organized in other States are not required to, and do not make such deposit.
21A large amount of assets in proportion to liabilities; a high rate of interest earned on its assets, and a low rate of mortality makes the Equitable one of the strongest companies in the country, and enables it to return the highest dividends to policy holders.
