Broadly speaking, there are two distinct
methods of life insurance on the legal reserve
plan namely ordinary and industrial OF the
two the latter is relatively the more important.
in that it reaches very much larger nun Der or
people. The essential difference is in the method
Of paying the premiums in that industrial pay
uients are weekly and collected from the houses
of the insured. while ordinary premium payments
are quarterly semi-anlual annual and re-
ouired TO be sent to the office Of the company
a further distinction is that the average amount
of insurance is about $40 on the industrial,
against about $500 on the ordinary plan
These two distinct methods of life insurance,
although derived from the fundamental
basis of mortality and finance. offer different
opportunities for young men who make choice
of life insurance as career Again, speaking
broadly the work OF a life insurance company
is divided into Office work and field work. or
administrative and agency work. BY the latter
term in Industrial insurance is understood the
soliciting for new business and the continued
collection Of the weekly premium; in ordinary
insurance only the soliciting for new business
and the collection of the first annual premium
The home office work is practically the same.

aggregate danger Is less than the sum OF the

has been developed so to include the secure
investment of surplus earnings. in conjunction
with the insurance of a sum payable at
death.
In virtue of these principles the system has
been developed to an extraordinary extent, but
however widely diffused it is safe to state, with
