THE 1ETNA LIFE COMPANY.
Continued Noteworthy Growth If "A
Grenl COrpormtioM.

Great corporation.
The Aetna Life Insurance company,
of Hartford, Conn, publishes in an
other column it's fifty-third annual
statement 1t shows that the business
done in 1902 was one of noteworthy
growth in every direction, and the re-
sulting big figures put the Aetna Life
as the leader among the great life in
surance companies of New England.
The total premium income for the
year was the large sum of $10,224,260,
and the total payments to policy-hold-
ers was the sum of $6,96S,0 99.
Let one try to conceive what this vast
sum of $6,36S,099 meant to the army of
Aetna policy-holders in 1902. Assum-
ing that each working day of the year
consisted Of eight hours, the Aetna Life
paid to its policy-holders:
Every minute, $44.21.
Every hour 81, 653.
Every working day, $21,227.
Every week, 1922. 463.
Every month, $530,676.
During the whole year, $6,368, 099.
The whole of the splendid sum was
distributed from Maine to California,
from the Lakes and Hudson's Bay TO
the Gulf Of Mexico. In most instances
the money went to people who, without
it, would have been forced to accept the
cold charity of the world, even for daily
bread. 1t enabled many a bereaved
widow to continue to live in comfort.
1t provided education for children. 1t
freed home after home from the bond
age of mortgage.
The detailed statement of the COM
pany shows that the investments of the
Aetna are conservatively and wisely
made, and the abundant strength of
the company is recognized by all IA
miliar with financial matters. It's pres
ident in fact as we'll as in name, is ex-
Governor Morgan G. Buckley. When
he became its head, twenty years ago,
it's assets were about $25,000,000. To-
day they are about $S3,500,000 Under
his management the Aetna has devel-
oped into it's present great proportions,
and it stands a proof of his and his
associates large business and executive
ability.
