The banquet was the elimination Of
business session held at the home ONCE,
SIG Fourteenth street northwest, Thursday

ton. details Of which were arranged by
William A. Bennett, second vice presi-
dent was TO draw the men In the field
closer together and acquaint them with
the officers OF the company. as wen as
mapping out campaign for the present
year.
Reports submitted at the convention
showed that the ordinary business writ
ten by the Equitable during 1911 was far
greater than the total volume OF business
written during the previous eight years.
One of the most promising features Of
the company has been the creation of an
educational campaign. Delegates were
present from Delaware and West vir-
ginIa.
The Equitable Life Insurance Company
of the District Of Columbia was incorpo-
rated in 1902 by Washingtonians. Through
persistency. hard work. and clean busi-
ness methods this company has built up
q lasting reputation. Reports submitted
showed the company to be in a most
fourishlng condition with the brightest
indications for a most successful busi-
ness year in 1872
