PRAISES metropolitan
Insurance cos. RECORD

The report Of the New York State
Department Of Insurance on the tri-
ennial examination of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Company has jlst
been published by the State. Under
the law. revised by Governor Hughes
this examination must be made every
three years. About twenty examiners
Of tho Insurance Department devoted
nearly a year to the work, and Mr..
Emmett, as Superintendent Of the De-
partment, wrote an extended review
Of the report.
In this review Commissioner Em-
mes not only made an analysis Of the
company's condition as business
corporation. but of its activities along
the broader lines of social service
among Industrial workers, health ed
ucation and the conservation of Lu-
man life. He points out that the COM
pany, now having more than thirteen
million policies outstanding, has as
sumed such proportions that IL is
practically brought into immediate
contact with approximately one
eighth of the population Of the Uni-
ted States,
Here are extracts from Superin-
tendent Emmets report;
The fact is, the history and
achievements during the last decade
OF the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, and Of one or two other OF
our large life insurance companies,
present such shining examples of ef-
ficient and enlightened business r.an-
agement with IN some cases dash
OF craftsmanship thrown in-that Il
seems 10 me TO be quite as much the
duty of a supervisory official, when
an appropriate occasion arises, to
comment favorably upon such cases
of successful public service by busi-
ness corporations under private con-
troll as il would be his duty under
present conditions to administer
sharp criticism II the tendency had
been in the other direction.
The fact that the percentage OF
lapses due to the abandonment of
their insurance by policy-holders is
constantly decreasing, speaks elo-
Quently to the same effect. This
last mentioned development is per-
haps the most convincing evidence
which could be offered that the com
pany's policy-holders are, broadly
speaking, very well satisfied indeed
with what they get in return for the
premiums they pay. A very remark
able showing altogether.
Leaving out OF consideration the
mere numbers Of those who have
been directly benefited by these ac-
tivities, ! think that the example
which the Metropolitan has set to
other great business organizations by
Its early recognition Of the new re-
sponsibiliues attaching to all busi-
ness enterprises which have attained
a certain size, Is one Of the most
beneficial OF recent occurrences In
the field of American business.
For years it has through its pub
lications upon the question Of health
conservation been serving multitudes
Of people as a sort OF university OF
beneficial instruction upon this most
important subject. For years IT has
maintained for its policy-holders a
nursing service upon great scale:
this has utterly become a veritable
marvel OF efficiency and practical
helpfulness."

Many Of the city clubs and organ

monumental men are the only ones who
know anything about mausoleums, why
should not the mausoleum builders
! know Just little about the monumental
business and the cost of materials.
You will note in the article of last
week in The Celina Democrat over the
name of the Premer Monumental Works
of TT. Recovery their statements as to
the Wapakoneta building, which, with
the mausoleum now being constructed
at Gutman, OHIO, are the only ones we
are interested in, are evasive, stating
that the building had been erected but
short time and there are, therefore, no
flaws. Their statement as to the walls
and granite is a malicious lie.
There are now thirteen bodies in the
Wapakoneta building in a perfect state
of preservation, which we stand ready
to prove.
As to construction, the buildings stand
for themselves. We will gladly bear the
expense of the representative or repre-
sentatives of the Premer Monumental
Works to Wapakoneta, where they may
investigate the building, and we will
also take them to GutmaD, where they
will see a building in course of construc-
ton, and after an investigation we know
that they will not have the audacity to
continue their Misrepresentation
The buildings were both carefully in
vestigated by the Trustees of North
Grove Cemetery, representative men of
your community, whose honesty, sim
cerity and intelligence in the matter can
not and will not be questioned.
We regret that it has become neces-
,ary to take this matter up in the above
manner, but as the last week article
,tated that The National Retail Monu-
uentrl Dealers Association was formed

lad the intended effect on its members,
and also to the low plane and crooked
ness of some.
We have no intention of carrying on a
continual alteration in the papers. This
would be most distasteful to us and to
the intelligent public. We merely
wished to call the attention of the public
to the reason why the Monumental Asso-
citation was formed and why they are op-
posed to the Community Mausoleum,
which is the most modern, humane,
economical and sanitary manner of car
ing for the remains of our friends and
dear ones.
1t is only question of a few years
when there will be but few earth burials,
consequently few monuments will be
sold.
We will be pleased to answer any ques-
tions in regard to mausoleums and mon
uments. Write us for booklets and liter
ature, giving full information as to the
Community Mausoleum which will be
erected in North Grove Cemetery at Ce-
lima, Ohio.
