There are many reasons why a trust
company succeeds in the administra-
tion of an estate where an individual
executor or trustee is apt to fail. The
criminal and probate records of this
and other States reveal almost daily
the fact that women and children are
at the mercy Of an individual execu-
tor, aud estates have been looted, that
funds have been used for speculation
and accounts iuggled because there
was no one to question or supervise
such administration. On the other
hand, trust company cannot die, il
cannot run away with trust funds, 1t
cannot speculate with such funds or
misappropriate them. ln the first
place, there is the assurance which
comes from having an experienced
stan Of officers and board Of direc-
tors composed OF leading business
men. The capital and surplus of the
trust company is a protection fund.

The trust companies in the United
States have a vast treasure in their
custody exceeding in value S35,QOO,-
100000, which is more than one-fourth
the entire wealth of the country, more
than one-half the wealth OF all cor
porations in the nation, and $4,000
100000 more than the combined bank
ing power OF all the National and
State banks in the United States. More
than S5,000,000000 OF this amount
represents the value OF estates and
trust funds turned over by individuals.
In only three instances where trust
companies have failed during the past
fifteen years, has there been any loss
of trust funds. In each case the
amount has heen insignificant

The Trust Company; The
Corporation With a "SouI''

There are incidents, both numer-
GUS and pathetic, in the daily routine
and business Of the modern trust COM
pany which disprove the general idea
that a corporation has no soul" One
of the reasons why men coniide the
administration Of their estates to their
lawyers or confidential friends TO act
as executor or trustee in the event
of death, is the mistaken notion that
the trust company, as a corporation
with a great many duties TO attend
to, is not able to give the personal
attention or consideration 70 those
who are left behind, which an In
diyidual is supposed TO render. Within
recent years, however. there has been
a general awakening, and men of
large or small fortunes are showing
their preference for the trust COM
pany because they have become con-
vinced that this kind of an institu-
tion not only gives careful and SYM
pathetic attention TO every detail in
the management of an estate, but also
offers the greatest degree Of safety
and wise handling of property The
successful manner in which trust
companies have acquitted themselves
in the management of estates and
trusts of various kinds has been one
OF the causes for this change. But
perhaps the strongest reason is sup
piled by the great number of expos
ures Of cases where men betray their
trust, abscOnd with the funds left in
their care for widows and children
or yield to the temptation to specu-
late.
The trust company is frequently
called upon to perform curious and
interesting services which indicates
that it is not a machine, but very
human. In New York City a trust
company was recently called upon, in
accordance with the will of a deceased
person, to have the remains cremated
then conveyed on an ocean liner, by
special messenger, TO the Mediterran-
can, where the ashes We're cast to the
four winds" The trust company
faithfully performed this duty In
another instance a trust company was
required to make certain of the death
Of a woman who left instructions in
her will that the trust officer Of the
company should have her heart pene-
trated with a hat-pin. The woman
who made this strange request had
been harassed during her lifetime
with constant fears that she would
be buried alive. She sought high anC
low for some means to make "assur-
ance doubuly sure" so that her wishes
would be carried out. She distrusted
her relatives and friends. Finally
she selected a trust company as the
only responsible agency which coulC
be relied upon to carry out her in
structions.
The case recited above most focibl!
illustrates one of the great principles
which has made the trust compan.
so successful and useful, both in th'
community and throughout the coun
try IL proves that this corporation
which like Tennyson's poem, 'live OF
/ forever" can carry out the instruc
tions OF a testator in a manner tha
no individual can be expected to dc
II often happens that when a lawye
or confidential friend has been ap
pointed to take charge Of an estate
he dies before the estate is settle
