to do in the brief number of years that have
now elapsedl What have the leading com.
panles in the world done in the same tmei
The Equitable Society of London, the
great pioneer in this branch of assurance,
commenced business in 1862, nearly CEN
fury before u.s. and is at present, over 100
years old. its assets are about $22,000,000,
and the amount at risk about $30,0O0,0O0.

the largest British Office, commenced busi-
ness in 1916, and at the end of fifty years
had $20,000,0O0 of assets and $G0,0O0,O00
at risk.
The New York Life Insurance Company
