No other items better illustrate the
conservative and constant advance of
the Company than the increases in
Premium Income and Insurance in
Force, demonstrating that particular
attention is given by the field repre-
sentatives to the collection of premium
the cornerstone of the strength and
success of the business. 1t is likewise
noteworthy that the total of Notices of
Death received during the year is less
than during the preceding twelve
months, regardless of the fact that
there was much more Insurance in
Force. this being an evidence of care
fulness in the selection Of risks as
summed.
Payments to Pofcyholders since the
beginning of the Companys business
now aggregates s32, 73S. 402 81.
A satisfactory increase, year after
year, has been shown in Dividends
paid by the Company during the term
covered by the preceding tables.
Among the Death Claims paid during
1900 were 20. under policies aggrega ding
$4,000 of Insurance. all of which had
been kept in force by the terms of the
MAINE ON-FORFEITURE LAW,
the payment of premiums having been
discontinued months or years before
the deaths occurred. Since the enact.
ment of this Law, in 1877 AL claims
have been saved for beneficiaries under
its operations, representing 1866, 757 of
Insurance.
The outlook for the first year of the
new century is full of promise. Con-
fident that the approval of the public
will not be withheld if its conservative
methods are continued. the UNION
MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY will take advantage of every
opportunity to improve its policies Of
