Report of the Mutual Life for
1896.

The continuous, magnificent
growth of The Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York has
for many decades been source of
pride to its army of policy holders
and of wonder to those interested
in social economics throughout the
civilized world. In many respects
The Mutual Life stands alone asto
its position. There is nothing
like it. Its Annual Report of
business for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1896, the fnll details of
which are now in the hands of the
New York State Insurance De-
partment, shows that the Company
possesses net assets aggregat1ng
1924, 744,14S.42. The books of the
Company indicate, according to its
own standard of policy ysluatlon,
a much larger sum than that, but
this year the report is made in
conformity with the require
ments of the State Department
which excludes assets that
are not realized upon, but which
are proper to regard as ultimately
good and available. The iabih-
ties on the risks in force amount
to $2O5, e4O,633 70, leaving sur
plus fund of 500, 733, 514.70. This
shows an increase in admitted as
sets drring 1896, according to the
New York State standard, of $751;
O4O,O COS %, and an increase in sur
plus of $2,S53, 467 .O6.
= The total income of the company
for the year was $40, 702, 695.27.
The amount paid to policy-holders
aggregated $25,437, 569. so. Since
the date of its organization, in 1S43,
The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany has paid to living members
$258, 959, 451, and to the benefciar-
les of deceased members $1TS,0 45.
1876, making total of $437, 005,-

ance in force amounting to over
