The statistics OF the life insurance
business OF the United States are al
ways Impressive and nothing relating
to them is more remarkable than the
record Of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society of New York which yes
terday observed the fortiet,l anniver-
sary of its organization. 1t is perhaps
not generally familiar that Mr.. Henry
Il Hyde, president OF this company,
who died recently deeply mourned by
friends and associates was Identified
with the company from the start and
indeed was it's organizer The record of
the life work OF President Hyde there
| fore is that OF the great assurance
| company which he instituted and over
! whose interests he presided with so
| much energy and capacity OF the big
companies in the UNITED States. the
| Equitable is now by far the biggest and
| its history as set forth in the publica-
tior OF the company called THE Equi-
| table Record is veritable business
romance. Beginning modestly I'm 1853 II
| withstood the reverses of the Civil War
| period. for all its youth. just as II rose
| superior TO the panic Of '7S and the
| hard times years 1884 and 1898. Indeed
| it's history is one of uninterrupted prog
| less almost unparalleled in the record
! of business enterprises large and small.
! Represented today in every quarter of
| the globe, the Equitable stands for
more than a billion dollars OF assur-
ance and has built up "a surplus of more
than 500, ,6OO.O0 over and above its tre-
mendous assets. IL has I'm the course
OF its career initiated a great many OF
the reforms which today commend life
assurance TO vast numbers of people
and il has demonstrated an example Of
security for the investor in life assur-
ance policies that ii would fairly seem
nothing but the destruction OF the
earth we live upon could vittate.
