Great Success of the Prudential.

The career of The Prudential Insurance

Gus one in many respects. 1t is the
Youngest among the large American life
companies, but it has advanced with such
rapid strides that it is now one of the
leading companies in the extent OF its
it has on hand over and above all habil-
tiles. thus justifying the well-known
phrase that THE Prudential has the
Strength of Gibraltar
During the last year The Prudential
wrote more new business than it ever did
before in any one year, and more than
was ever written by any other company
when of the same age. Great increases
are also shown in the other branches of
the business. It's assets are now over $52,-
000, 900. and its policies in force now num-
Der over five million.
What so large an increase means not
only to the management but also to the
poljcy-holders. and even to the nation,
will be apparent from the fact that life
insurance is now becoming the leading
form of investment for rich and poor.
For the rich man life insurance is Il great

secures him against financial loss. For
the poor man it is a necessity; the life
insurance policy is often the only asset
