NEW BUSINESS, 1870

By this We observe that its business
for 1870 reached the enormous figure of
$40, 295, 799, being 81, 100000 larger than
that of any company in the world.
The Equitable is mutual company,
on the cash basis, making annual returns
to its poicy-holders of all the profits
which arise in the course OF its business.
The mention OF one very favorable fea-
ture must not be omitted-we refer to
the ability OF its agents and the courtesy
OF its officers, by which every inquired
information connected with Life Assur-
ance can be readily obtained. The
executive OF this company can always be
easily approached, and this tends much
to itspopularity.
1t is thus easy to understand why the
Equitable has reached its present pre-
eminence. Starting from the first day
Of its organization, under the best aus
pices, IN 1866, there were but FOUR COM
panies that wrote larger amount Of new
insurance;i in 1867, but THREE; in 1865,
but TWO; in 1869, the Equitable's trans
actions were the largest, and in 1870
it still maintained its supremacy, as the
table given above shows. By this time
it had issued over $4,000 policies, insur-
ing more than $3.50, 100000.
We are not aware whether the Equit-
able Life Assurance Company is repre-.
sented here or not, but we would strong
ly recommend those DESTROYS of working
in the field OF Life Assurance, to place
themselves at once in communication
with the home Office, with the view Of
acting for them as agent, as there is per-
haps, no other company that could offer
better inducements.
