The amount of insurance written and
placed by the Prudential in 1901, namely
$213 0,000 was greater than il has written
any previous year.
From its annual statement which is now

the first rank of life insurance companies

company has only been twenty-six years in
existence, we shall feel all the more inter
ested in the methods whereby such magnifi-
cent results were produced. The secret OF
its success undoubtedly lies I'm the fact that
