The Great Equitable life.


The annual statement Of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society is like the Equitable
building IN New York, substantial and i'm
posing Thirty-three years ago this corpora
ton commenced business on a capital stock of
600. O0l and from that beginning II has grown
TO an institution with assets OF 1856 l9s 5ls and
a surplus of S25.293,ssl This stupendOus
growth represents hard work and continuous
work every working day of every year. and 1t
also represents intelligent work. The COM
pany has not Numbered into its greatness.
neither has IL been pushed there by mere
force. but it has attained this position through
wise and judlciOus management and the APP
pication OF sound business principles. OF
late years its growth has been fairly marvel
ous and each year OutdOes all previous ones.
This was particularly true OF 1891. the new
business written assuming the immense pro-
portions OF 1898, lls.33l. These are figures
which are simply stupendOus bat the society
has announced its intention OF surprising
them this year and expects to write .z1O.OO1.-

nearly $4,000 O0O in six years. Some ST.
1855 was added 20 the assets during tho
year. bringing that item up to sl35, o5ls,
and the surplus was increased by over SIX
