The Prudential Insurance Company

The year 1908 proved banner one for
the Prudential in Vermont, full report of
new business written by all Life Insur-
ance Companies having just been re-
ceived. Of the 20 odd companies licensed
to write insurance in the state, only some
half dozen showed an increase in amount
OF business written in 1903 over that of
1902. OF these few companies the Pru-
Dental was a big leader, its increase of
over Sis. 900 being more than double
that of its nearest competitor. Such a
show wing is remarkable in view of the
fact that there is great competition be
tween all the companies, and testi6es to
the favor in which the company is held
by the public.
