The National Life Insurance Company Of tho
United States OF Americn-Its Record Last
Year and Its Condition Now.
In another column Of this paper is presented
the ninth annual statement OF the National
Life Insurance Company of the United States
Of America. 1t shows, In brief, the results Of
the work done by the company during the
past year and It's present financial condition.
1t should be carefully scrutinized by every
policy holder, who owes II to those dependent
upon him to satisfy himself that the company
is In fact the safeguard for them which Il
purports to be.
New policies have been Issued during the
year to the number Of 2,002, insuring 81, 49,
267, or an average Of something over 900
for each policy. This moderate average shows
that Life Insurance Is extending among those
who must need It's blessings. 1t shows also
that the Company Is distributing risks widely
and conservatively, avoiding heavy single
hazards. The years income exceeds its outgo
by 1907 ,242, which excess has been prudently
added to the surplus, for the protection OF
policy-holders. The death claims paid during
the year aggregate s220, ,030. This sum repre-
sents not merely SO many dollars, but comfort
and plenty in many household which but for
National policy would have been destitute
as well as desolate.
Especial attention Is called TO the character
OF the company's assets, and to the fact that
they have been estimated In the statement at
the actual values for which they are available
In the payment Of losses. The loans In every
instance are secured by property worth more
than double the sum loaned. Taken alto
gether, the assets exceed the total liabilities
by 81 AIS, ,s33. Among these liabilities is the
reserve upon policies 10 force to the amount Of
S2i68,373. This sum Is sacredly reserved for
policy holders exclusively, and, under the law, =,
iskuillcient TO fully protect every Outstanding
policy but, IN addition to this legally-suill-
Client guaranty, is the surplus OF nearly mil
lion and a half Of dollars, which makes assur-
ance doubly sure.
For every dollar OF present and contingent
liability the company has one dollar and fifty
Ave cents.
awe feel very confident that the facts and
figures submitted to the public In the annual
statement referred to will commend the Ma.
tlonal Life Insurance Company OF the Uni cd
States of America to the renewed confidence
Of those who serve themselves AMI their fam
ilies by obtaining and maintaining It's policies
During the last year the company has paid
| SIS, 900 to our citizens through Messrs. A. B
