~IrB A REMARKABLE FACT

~ IT Is A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies Of life assurance
is less than on small ones. The
average amount Of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life As
surance Society in 1865. was
$4.15O, while the percentage OF
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy Of the Mutual Life for
the same period was $3,504
percentage Of loss 1924. Wash
ington, So, 400; loss 1914. Ger.
mania, $1,SOO; loss 1926. Uni.
ted States, $2,393; loss 1927,
All these are cash companies
and the rates Of some sixteen
nots companies exhibit q similar
commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the wealthiel
classes, who are abls TO assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and sani
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course Of life which q
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on a single
| life up to the amount Of $4,000
