BONNER reports that in the vicin-

in the point of view.
X. B. White spent the Easter Holt
days at Port Washington, Long Is
land.
George Loomis christened his new
car on Saturday afternoon by back
ing out garage and leaving his
bumper behind. The car got by the

over the weekend when "Esmerelda'
was suffering from fiat tire.)

Nv Dear Mr.. Esks:
Why don't you publish a Heart Statement
olonn with the REGULAR Financial Statement you
put out e~~.lyeAif
Amy company can publish impressive figures
of financial strength, financial growth, etc. But
figures don't stick. All | remember from your
last years Statement is that the metropolitan has
several million policyholders and is the biggest

I've been following some of your magazine
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1925-04-16

advertisements lately that tell of work you're
doing to help people live longer 1t isn't entirely
clear in my mind just how you're doing it or why
you do it, but since you are doing it, give Us the
facts and figures on that. Call it Heart State
ment or Welfare Statement, or anything you
like, but--give us the facts.
Perhaps other Metropolitan policyholders like
myself would be interested in Statement of
that kind.
Very truly yours,

PEOPLE noe lie longer

Records kept by the Metropolitan show an extraor-
binary decrease in the death among its policy
holders Compared with 1917 for example, there
nearly 900 fewer deaths in 924 among its Industrial
Pocyholdcrs than there would have been if the 1911
death rate had prevailed

w IE are indebted to Mr.. S. for his suggestion.
w 1t is'an excellent one. We publish annual
w Business Statement of the Metropolitan, not

and strength to its $4,000, 900 pocyholderS
And it is this extraordinary financial strength that
makes it possible for the Metropolitan to carry
nationwide campaign for better health and longer life.

Mr.. Powell is not seeking a
name telling Of the location OF

and service. He points to trade
names that are more popular
than official titles rs the Monon,
the Erie, the Nickel Plate, Biz
Four and Burlington. All these,
he thinks. are more expressive
than the lengthy and often pom.
