COST OF INDUSTRIAL LIFE IN

BY THE PRUDENTIAL.

Voluntary concessions aggregating
over $4,000. 900 additional benefits to
Industrial policies already in force,
and increasing the amount of benefits
to all similar policies issued after July
LIST. briefly states the effect of an i'm
portant and far-reaching announce
ment just made by The Prudential
Insurance Company through President
John F. Dryden.
For years it has been the practice
of The Prudential to add to the bene-
fits already granted to policyholders,
giving more insurance than the con-
tracts called for whenever experience
has demonstrated that it could safely
be done. The constant aim of the Of
ficers of The Prudential is to give the
most and the best for the least. Close
and careful study is given every fea-
ture of the Company's great business.
The gains made in different depart
ments each year, the earning power
of the Compan's assets, decrease in
mortality, etc. as compared with wha.
was expected, are all carefully scrutin-
lied. In this way The Prudential is able
from time to time to grant increased
benefits to policyholdeEs, giving them
the advantage obtained through these
savings, even though no legal obliga-
ton so to do exists under the policy
contracts.
