We invite careful attention TO this condensed
but very instructive summary OF the operations
Of fifty-two years. IL exhibits at a glance not
only the magnitude OF the good work which has
been done throughout ali those years. but also
the proof of what desire TO impress upon
the public unimpeachable claim TO Its
confidence; that we give our pollcyhoders
families the most protection at the lowest cost.
Against the S1a6 SO 2iJ69 received from our
policyhoders. we have already returned 10 them
IN the several ways above noted S1SS I9l .35I 40,
and now hold as the abundant protection to
their present contracts S63, SIS. 6tO9S: a total
returned 10 them or now held for them, OF
So. $50 21S3S. or 1920 per cent OF what has
been received from them. This has been done
AT m average expense ratio OF only SS4 per
cent.
Connecticut Mutual stands alone. And in what
II has done, and is doing these Incompatible
benefits have not been. and are not done FOR n
class at the expense Of another class. They nave
been and are for all alike. We have not per
suaded men to put at hazard the protection OF
their families nor 10 leave their yearly overpay-
ments (accruing dvidends) with US at the ike
hazard OF loss in the hope that they may by
living long and holding on catch some part OF
what less fortunate men and less fortunate
families may lose by forfeiture. We have no
schemes for despoIling some Of our members for
the benefit OF others. We definitely secure for
each family all the protection its prudent. un-
selfish head pays for: require him to pay
year by year only what Il actually costs for the
year: and have made that cost lower than
has been done nv any other company.
What more perfect work. 10 what more perfect
end. be done?
Respectfully submitted.
