President Brewer and officers of the
Washington Life may pride themselves on
the success which has attended their COM
pany during the twenty-five years OF its OK
istenCe. Judicious management, carefully
invested funds, which have turned, as it
were, into gold. From the official report of
January last we find the company to be
possessed of assets of the best character,
amounting to S7,304;009S4, with liabilities
TO policy-holders of S6,47i, l4.Gl, leaving a
surplus us regards pollcy-holders of $780,
76S23 The income Of the Washington last
year, from all sources, was Sl,T15, 1888. 40.
The company paid out for losses and ma
turcd endowments during the same
period, $500 SG5.00. Cash paid to an
nuitants, $3,ll0.23. The company also
paid for surrendered policies, etc, $3l3,-
45s46 with cash dividend to policy
holders Of 1884 $50, and return premiums,
Sl,33S.ll, making total payment to policy
holders Of 81, 149, G40S0 The company has
greatly increased its business this year SO
far, so that at the next annual report the as
sets will not fall short of ten millions, thus
showing that the Washington Life was cor
rectly named, If we may Judge from the
financial success which seems to follow.
For twenty-five years this life company has
been before the public, and II has never
failed in the faithful performance OF what
it agrees to do in issuing n policy on the
life of the policy-holder. The Washington
furnishes life insurance at price but
little more than the actual net cost of
the insurance. The Washington has a
good paying and increasing business on its
books, It is managed with strict economy
and consumnate skill and yigor, 1t has first
class position in the life insurance world,
and that position will be continually in
creasing to a still more prominent one.
