DOES RECORD BUSINESS
1854, ,422,133 Policies Issued During
1919 Largest In History
OF Company.

The largest volume of insurances
it had ever placed in a twelve-month
period was issued during 1919 by the
Mutual Life Insurance Company OF
New York. The amount OF money in
volved in the assurances in that
period is s354.<22.133 against $2os,
92O $50 in 1918. The total insurance
in force on December 81 amounted to
S2.OS9,l III 1857
A remarkable fact about this in
crease and the stupendous sum in
volved in the company's total footing
is that the company has no foreign
business, it's writings being con-
fined to the United States and Canada
The company does not write group in.
surance, industrial insurance. or sub.
standard insurance.
The company paid to policy holders
in 1919 dividends amounting to $22,
497 AT. Since 1s43, when the COM
pany was organized, the dividends to
policy holders tsRve amounted to 1913,
S,317.
Payments for death claims and
matured endowments in 1919 were
$3S.156,35O. Death claims included a
larger sum than usual last year be-
cause OF inc excessive IHOTtdllty
caused by the influenza.
Total payments to policy holders
were $s1, 1,113,205, and since 1S43 the
total payments have amounted to
553,387.173.
The company's contingency reserve,
or surplus, increased $500 ,139, and on
December 81 was $19,551 ,215, despite
the increased amounts paid for war
time tAxes, influenza deaths, and the
increased items entering into the
