and continued service.
The insurance became effective on
February Is when all employees who
were actively at work Were insured for
amounts ranging from $500 minimum
to $1,000 maximum, same being pro-
rated in accordance with years of con
t%inuous service with. the company. The
amount of insurance will be proper
tionately increased with each addi-
tional year of service to the maximum
of $1,000. New employees will be elig-
ible to participate in the plan after
three months service. The insurance
remains in force as long as the en-
ployee continues with the Company,
although they may continue it at their
own expense should they for any rea-
son leave the company. This insur-
ance is in addition to whatever other
benefits may be provided by the State
Workmen's Compensation Act.
One of the novel features of this
plan is that no medical examination
is required. The employee names ben
eficiary in the same ann as he
would under an ordinary policy, and
has the privilege of changing this ben
eficiary from time to time as circum-
stances may demand.
The plan provides benefits not only
in case of death, but also total perma-
nent disability. In the event an en-
ployee becomes totally and permanent
ly disabled before reaching the age of
sixty, he will receive the full amount
of insurance certificate in either an
nual or monthly i~nstallments, accord
ing to any one of several plans which
he may choose. If death should occur
during this period, the remaining in
stallments will be paid to his benefic-
larry.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company of New York, with whom
the Atlantic & Suburban Railway
Company has taken out its policy,
maintains in the City a Visiting Nurs-
ing Service for the benefit of its Indus.
trial Policyholders. The benefits oil
this service are now extended to the
employees OF this Company who are
insured, and who reside within the
District. In case an employee be
comes sick or injured, a graduate
nurse will call at his home, make the
patient comfortable, carry out the in
structions of the attending physician
and render whatever other bedside
care may be necessary. This service
is without expense of any kind to the
employee, and no deduction for it Is
made from the value of policy at the
time of maturity.
One of the valuable features of The
plan is the Health Literature to Which
the employees of this Company are
now entitled. The Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company have had prepar
ed by some of the greatest experts IL
this country a number of booklets, at
tractively arranged and illustrated
dealing with matters of health conser
walton and disease prevention. These
together with a number OF small
pamphlets on special diseases, will b.
distributed periodically among the EN-
ployees. They contain a great deal o
information valuable to any home.
Attractive Insurance Certificates
giving full details OF the plan, will b.
handed to each employee in the nea.
future.
