Few people have any idea Of the
snormity Of the insurance business Of
the United States. It not only ex.
ceeds that Of any other country, but
Is twice as great as that Of all the
rest Of the world combined. At the
present time there is in the United
States about $4,000, 900. 900 of life in.
surance in force including assess
ment business. This means $3.50 for
every man, woman and child in the
country. or $500 for every family. The
annual risks written by the fire insur-
ance companies are estimated at $780,
oo0, 100000, which is $3.50 per capita,
q $3.50 per family. Thus it will be
seen that every family in the coun-
ny on an average has insurance as.
sets Of over $4,000.
