GREAT PROGRESS OF THE PRUDENTIAL.
Enormous Figures Dealt in by this National
Life Insrancs Company

The annual statement of The Prudential,
OF Newark, n j., shows the Company to
be stronger in public confidence than ever
before. The year 1907 is reported to have
been one of unusual gains in every depart
ment of the Company's business The Com
pany issued and paid for during the year
over two hundred and seyenty-two million
dollars of new insurance. The number of
policies 10 force has been increased by oyer
four hundred thousand, bringing the total
number of policies in force up TO over seven
and one-quarter millions. The total
amount of insurance at risk is over one
billion three hundred and thirty seven
holders, The Prudential has maintained
and surpassed its record for liberality
During the year The udential paid TO
policyholders oyer eighteen million dollars,
while since the organization of the Com
pany the total payment to its policy yholdefs
has been over one hundred and forty one
million dollars.
A safe and profitable investment to life
insurance company consists Of loans otis
own poiicyholders on the security of their
policies. The statement shows over seven
million dollars loaned in this way.
The Prudential also shows reduction in
expenses in 1907 ION basis of equal pre-
MUM incomes in 1905 and 1907 Of nearly
one million dollars. The tax payments by
the Company in 1907 also reached the
enormous sum of one and one quarter mill
lion dollars. The net gain in Insurance. in
force was over eighty-four million dollars
and this, she Company's officials state, was
greater gain than the Company made in
1906, one of its banner years.
The Prudential states that through its
splendid equipment, experience and organ
izstion it has given, since she introduction
OF It's New Industrial Policy and New Low
Cost Ordinary Policy, more life insurance
for less money than ever before, and to this
no doubt is due the great success that the
Company made last year and is making
this year The New Low Cost Policy is
described by The Prudential Company as
the greatest success in life insurance, and
this is due so she fact that it is sold at as
low a rate as consistent with she guaranteed
benefits and the absolute life insurance pro-
lection which it affords.
Send TO The Prudential, Newark, New
Jersey, for rates on the New Lew-Cost
Policy at your age and The Prudential's
official state that yen will be surprised at
the large amount Of life insurance you can
secure from that Company at such low

To Patrons OF the R. F. D. Routes.

Hon. P. " DeGIaw, Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General, Washington, D. c.,
desires so call attention to the practice of
some patrons of rural delivery of placing
loose coins in their boxes each time they
desire TO dispatch letters instead of supply
ing themselves with postage in advance OF
their needs.
This practice imposes undue hardship on
rural carriers in removing loose coins from
boxes and delays them on the service of
their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently re-
quests tnat patrons of rural delivery pro-
vide themselves and keep on hand a supply
Of stamps consistent with and in advance of
their needs.
