WONDERFUL GROwTH or DE-
TROIT LIFE INSURANCE co.
Figures Given Out at Agents Conven-
tion Show 1917 rs Greatest Year
Yet for New Company In Field

II Is an axiom OF business that the
first fve years OF a new enterprise are
the crucial ones during which its pol
Icy Is shaped, It's reputation establish
ed and its trend toward success or
failure determined. II the basis OF its
growth in those years has been sound,
It will continue to grow as healthy.
prosperous business organization.
That axiom Is as true In the field
Of insurance as in any other. Its truth
is demonstrated most conyincingly In
the reports made by the officers OF the
Detroit Life Insurance Company and
the figures given out at the t.xth an
nual sales convention held August ID,
16 and II at Cedar Point on Lake Erie
At that convention were gathered the
livest agents of the company, those
who had made excellent records In
writing new business during the fore
part OF this year and the total o: their
efforts surprised even themselves
when 1t was presented
With total OF nearly s3,900000 OF
new business written in the first sew
en- months OF 1917, goal OF Sc, 500, 900
of new business for the year seems
assured. Already the company has
secured nearly as much new insur-
ance in part OF year as was on its
books at the end OF It's first three
years operation.
This emphasizes the growth in pres
tige and organization OF company
which has passed the turning point In
its career and is now coming into It's
place and rank among the fduciary
institutions of the state, rank which
has been earned by vigorous effort
and well-chosen guidance.
While the sixth year OF the com
pany's existence surpassed any of the
previous five years in achievement
the seventh year bids fair to surpass
the sixth even more strikingly.
The annual agents convention OF
the Detroit Life Insurance Company
OF which that at Cedar Point was the
sixth, have been like monuments In
its progress, each greater than It's

Real Detroit Concern.


The organization OF the Detroit
Life Insurance Company was due to
the belief among men familiar with
insurance affairs In Detroit and Mich
igan that there existed need here
for such an institution. While the
insurance business of the company
has been largely in the hands of old
and well established eastern compan-
les which had built up great organi-
cations through decades Of experience
there was feeling that IL would be
well for Michigan to retain the in
vestment OF part OF the great aggre-
gate OF insurance premiums collected
each year in the state for investment
within the commonwealth
Such a result would mean that De-
troit and Michigan people would re-
celye a great benefit from local
company during their lifetimes-as
well as the benehcent protection o.
assurance for their loved ones after
the bread-winner's death Invest
ment of insurance company funds in
the state tends thereby TO assist di-
rectly in the states development.
II was with this aim in view that
the policy OF the Detroit Life Insut-
ance Company Of investing its funds
in Michigan was laid down. Mortga-
ges on improved real estate within
the city and state were selected as
providing an investment which had
the maximum OF security and finan-
cial return.
AT the present time the assets Of
the company amount to approximate
" $3.50 900 and the greater portion OF
this is now invested in such mortga-
ges.
Insurance I'm force now totals more
than Sii 900, 900 and this total is he
ing added to month by month at an
accelerating rate.
