GENERAL AGENCY OF THE Connecticut Mutual LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
OF HARTFORD, CONN.,
28 CENTRAL STREET, LOWELL, MASS., OVER PRESCOTT NATIONAL BANK.
Number of Members, over 55,000. Accumulated Capital, $18,000,000. Annual Income, $6,500,000. Surplus Assets, over $5,500,000. Average Dividends, over 50 per cent.
THE Company was organized in 1846 upon the purely Mutual system. It has no proprietary, or Stock Capital; every dollar of its funds belongs to its members. The pre-eminent satisfaction, therefore, in the contemplation of its vast figures is, that they denote not the enrichment of a Corporation, but present and coming blessings to thousands of homes !
All Policies issued by the Company are either non-forfeitable by their terms, or may be converted into those that are so, at the option of the insured.
Payment of premium can be made either wholly in cash, or half cash and half note.
Insurance can be effected in this Company in all the forms desired. Active and reliable Canvassers wanted.

WIRE HEDDLES, ETC.
ESTABLISHED 1836.
D. C. BROWN,
MANUFACTURER OF
WEAVERS' REEDS AND HARNESSES;
Also Patentee and Sole Manufacturer of Improved
Patented Wire Heddles,
FOR COTTON OR WOOLEN.
Warranted not to catch the Warp Thread in the eye. PATENTED MAY 21, 1867. OFFICE, MANUFACTORY, AND RESIDENCE,
CHURCH, CORNER OF WARREN STREET,
(Near the Middlesex Mills,) LOWELL, MASS.
The subscriber, in calling the attention of Manufacturers to his PATENTED WIRE HEDDLE, can confidently recommend it as the best adapted to all kinds of weaving (Woolen, Cotton, or Silk Goods) of any Wire Heddle now in use. The eye in this Heddle is near perfection, if not perfect; the warp thread will not catch in the twist of the wire which forms the eye, and the warper knots will pass freely through the eye without injury; and has given the most perfect satisfaction wherever it has been used.
Orders solicited and promptly executed by
D. C. BROWN, Patentee,
Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor.
RECOMMENDATIONS :-
The undersigned cheerfully recommend D. C. BROWN'S PATENTED WIRE HEDDLE as superior to any which has come to our knowledge : -
George Crompton, Crompton Loom Works, Worcester, Mass .; Davis & Furber, Wool Machine Makers, North Andover, Mass .; W. H. Salisbury, Agent Washington Mills, Lawrence, Mass. ; Edward Barrows, Agent Merrimack Mills, Lowell, Mass. ; William C. Avery, Supt. Middlesex Mills, Lowell, Mass .; Isaac Farrington, Proprie- tor Eagle Mills, Lowell, Mass .; A. H. Chase, Chase Mills, Lowell, Mass.
We, the undersigned, are using D. C. BROWN'S PATENTED WIRE HEDDLE, and are satisfied that it is the best Wire Heddle that we have ever used : -
S. S. Fuller, Overseer of Weaving in Cloth Department, Middlesex Mills, Lowell, Mass. ; H. Butterworth, Overseer of Weaving in Shawl Department, Middlesex Mills, Lowell, Mass .; J. E. Chase, Supt.
