criticism: Of late the magazines and daily papers have had much to say by way of critizism of certain life insurance companies, and especially with regard to the legal organizations of such companies, and of the manner of their control. Thvse criticisms do not apply to The Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California, but demonstrate the truth of the assertion that "for policyholders The Pacific Mutual has the best legal organization." It is not controlled by 1 or 2 dwd having no pecuniary interest or responsibility save as policyholders or recipients of salary, but is controlled by a Board of fifteen Directors, not mere dummies, but stockholders in their own right, holding a largv amount of the Compan's stock, and policyholders as wlL The Directors of the Company are men of high financial and commercial standing, and are by law made responsible for the acts of the Officers of the Corporation.
