The Penn MntuaTs Fine showing.

In view of the adverse conditions OBJ
tanning during the last year the ffty-ninth
annual report of the Penn Mutual Life
Insurance company is a remarkable ex-
hibit. The business of the year was the
greatest in the history of this Philadelphia
institution, and shows that the public has
confidence in proper METHODS OF life insur-
ance administration.
The report shows that it issued during
the year 25,sS2 policies for So, 22, 562 of new,
paid for insurance, making a total OF 1852
policies in force January l. 1907. guarantee
ing 1896, S19522 Of paid for insurance pro-
lection on the books of the company. This
exhibit places the Penn Mutual in the
front rank of American life insurance. To
protect this immense amount of insurance
liability the company carries a reserve of
$T,2l9,63l This reserve liability is cal
culated on the highest standards of Sc
curity and exceeds the requirements of the
law In this regard, The total premium in
come during the year was SIS, 4O5,54S, a gain
over the previous year Of $1,2O5,9C1.
A comparison of the report with the rec
ord of 1906 will show gains In every de-
partment of the companys work, and It is
interesting to note that, while the amount
at risk has been greatly added to, the
actual mortality of the year was less than
in the preceding year, the death losses paid
in 1906 having amounted to the sum of
81, 64e, 400. while in 1905 they were S66, 900
greater in amount. The actual mortality
experience of 1906 was only 81 per cent of
the expected. The surviving members OF
the company have, therefore derived from
this source a large saving, due to careful
selection Of risks by the medical depart
ment The other factors which go to make
UP the surplus from which the dividends
are derived, namely. interest and saving
from the margin for expenses, also show
terest. rents, etc. during the year amounted
to s4,lS1, sos, an increase over the previous
year of more than $555,000. A comparison
of the items OF expense with those Of 1905
shows that the ratio of expense to income
was considerably less. The expenses were
we'll within the premium loading or mar
! gin, for that purpose, and the officers by
/ economy and the prevention of waste have
effected a substantial saving from this
! fund for the surplus account of the policy
! holders.
| The Penn Mutual has always enjoyed a
| reputation of being large dividend paying
company, and its record in this regard in
the past year is In keeping with it's previous
/ practice, the company having apportioned
dividends during 1906 in the sum of s., 1871, III.
The assets or the company amount to $685.
716s61, an Increase Of more than 100000
over the figures of 1905; and the liabilities
are shown to be s77,774,6G, OF which the
| reserve held for the protection of all menu
bers constitutes almost the entire sum
