During the severe hot weather at the
beginning of July, when the thermometer
was soaring in the neighborhood of 100
degrees, the clerks in the home offices of
the big life insurance com panies were
kept busy recording and paying death
claims, which were coming into the
offices at great rate This was especial
ly true of the companies which conduct
an industrial, or weekly payment, bust
ness, many of the policy holders being of
the poorer or middle class.
During the first nine days in July The
Prudential Insurance Company of America
alone paid nearly 300 death claims, where
the policy holders had died from sun
stroke, although the average of that Com
pany for any whole year since 1891, was
only 1O9 cases.
On one single day, July 9th, The
Prudential also paid 200 more Industrial
claims than it ever paid before on any
day, the total being 646 claims and the
amount of money paid out running up to
nearly 100000.
The majority of these deaths were due
to the intense heat, or from disorders
brought on, or severely aggravated, by
the hot weather. In the larger cities
about one half of the policies paid on the
above mentioned date were cases of heat
victims. For example, in New York
City 38 claims were paid on heat cases out
of total of II cases; in BROOKLYN there
were so heat victims out of IS death
claims paid; while in Philadelphia Al out
of IA claims were paid, on people who had
died from the heat.
In seven large cities, out of 305 claims
paid, 1853 were on heat victims. These
are insurance facts worthy for people to
remember and to the man or woman who
would procrastinate, the answer is plain:
If you're healthy now, insure now.
