about the escape Of hyena from 2 me-

PRUDENTIAL S YEARLY REPORT
It's Figures Emphasize the Increased
Prosperity of Insurance Companies.

The increased prosperity which is OBJ
servable throughout the length and
breadth of business enterprise is. 9articu-
larly reflected In the big gains made by
the Prudential Insurance Company OF
America during the year just past. The
company wrote larger amount Of busi-
ness than it did in any year since It was
founded. It placed no less than s27s, 600, 900
of insurance, bringing the total amount
Of insurance in force up to sos ,000-
This result attests its popularity, and
such figures have not been equalled by
any company in the past whose age IS not
more than that of the Prudential, nor by
the Prudential itself in any former year
The causes which have brought about
such exceptional success apparently
Greater appreciation of life insur
ance by the masses and the excellent
business methods of the Prudential.
