The above figures represent the %grandcst results ever a.
chievcd by any life insurance company in the world
But how hard it is to realize their meaning! How few
persons can, by any cxertion of the intellect, torn an ado
quatc conception of their ma gnitude!
Five hundred and fifty millions of dollars of in
surance outstanding think rhat that means.
If that sum were divided among the inhabitants of the
United States, there would be nine dollars for each man,
woman and child.
If it were equally distributed among the voters at the
last Presidential election, each man who voted for either
Harrison or Cleveland, would receive over fifty dollars,
GAS large as..the national debt " is a common ex-
preston for our greatest conception Of financial magnitude;
and:yet the Equitabes outstanding obligations to its poll
~cyholdcrs are equal to nearly half the entire debt of the
United States. And what is more, its obligations are Just
as sure.to be paid whenever they fall due, as those of the
United States Government arc.
We are apt to imagine there is an inexhaustiblc amount
of money in circulation in the United States; and practi-
cally there is. But il the whole of it were collected togcth.
cr-eold, silver, bank notes and currency of every kind-it
would take more than a third of it to pay off the outstand-
ing policies OF this wonderful company.
And the Equitable wrote last yccr one hundred and
fifty millions of dollars of new insurance. Such n re-
suit has never been accomplished by any company in a sim
gle year since lite insurance was invented.
Astounding as the fact may seem. it is nevertheless true,
thar If the Equitsblcs policies had only been a dollar each,

il would have issued enough Of Them last year TO enable it
to give one TO every individual on the Western Continent,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Arctic to
Antartic Ocean, and still have a good many millions left.
And then consider the massive strength b. of the COM
pany. It has ninety four millions Of dollars of as
sets and o surplus Of twenty millions of dollars.
Stephen Girard, who died in 1891, was considered one Of
the wcaltliest men OF his generation. lie was even able
to save the honor of the United States Government by
placing his fortune at its disposal and in the splendid col
lcgc which he founded and endowed in PHILADELPHIA, no
left a IN monument whcl, has made his nam famous through.
out tho civilized world.
And yet, Orer and abore all its liabilities, abocc the re-
se're which it Is required to keep on hand, and which tho
law, in its most Jealous vigilance has declared amply su6f-
Gent to protect all its poicy-holders, tho Equitable Life
holds for their still creator security ncarly three times
the entire amount Of Girard's famous fortune.
These stupendOus results appear the moro marvellous
when it is remembered that they have al been accomulish-
oil in little more than a quarter OF u century for the Equi-
table may be numbered among The younger life insurance
companies, having only begun business in 1889. That it
now.exceeds all others in:magnitude, can only be attri-
buted to the wonderful abil ty and energy which hayc
been displayed in the management of its affairs, together
with the fact that it has learned just ucAut the public want
in the way of life insurance, and while afiordng its policy
holders absolute security, 1t always studies their interest
and adapts itself to their needs.
