THE GRAND OLD CON-
PANY'S ANNIVERSARY

On February first, seventy-six years
ago, The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York came into being
at least, the first policy was issued by
the Company on the first of February,
1843. It was in the previous year,
1912, that a number of gentlemen re-
siding in New York City got together
and organized a life insurance CON-
time the Mutual Life has paid to poll
cyholders and their beneficiaries the
enormous sum Of LATE, 000, 100000, be-
ing an average of $19,381, 100000 per
year, $64,000.O0 per business day, 49,
100000 for every working hour Of ev-
cry business day, 1898 for every
minute, and 1922 for every second.
While official figures have not been
received for 1918 the insurance in
force at this time doubtless exceeds
81 300, 900, and the assets of the
Company must be nearly $3.50, 900, 900.
Throughout the seventy-six years
the Company has led in a great many
ways. For instances: It's mortality
experience was used largely in the
construction of the American Expert
ence Table of Mortality, which is now
used as basis for practically all Of
the life insurance companies doing
business in this country. In addition
to this, the Company has been first to
adopt nearly all of the more impor-
tant features used today in life insur-
ance operation.
One of the Company's new and at
tractive policies is advertised else
where in this issue.-Adv.
