WINSTON-SA SALEM, N. c. ,(SNS
During the annual session OF the
National Negro Insurance Assoc1a-
ton, at Los angeles, California,
July 1914, 1899, maiiy pertinent
facts were revealed relative to the
experience of race companies oper-
ating in America. While statistics
were not available from all the
48 companies, managed by Negroes,
the "a companies reporting dis
closed the fact that tier combined
premium income for the fiscal
year ending December 81, 1888,
amounted to $12,150.924, Of which
291fc, or $685., 591 was deposited by
new policyhOlderS. This fact is OF
unusual interest in that 1t indi-
Gates & growing confidence on the
part of the American Negro in life
insurance companies owned and
operated by members OF the race.
Another interesting fact reveal
ed al the meeting was that OF the
$12, 150,924 collected BY tine "a re-
porting companies during the year
1888, 35.447o, or $4,306,287 was re-
turned TO the policyhOlders or their
beneficiaries III the form of divi-
dends, death and sick claims, ma
tured endOWm entS, etc.
IN SOUND CONDITION
That the reporting companies
were in sound thriving condition
was evidenced by the fact that the
net Results Of operation for the
year ending December 81, 1888,
showed an increase in surplus OF
$167, 679.91, or 9.229c.
The facts brought out at the Ma
tional Association Meeting seem to
indicate conclusively that the re-
porting companies as a whole
were in good financial condition
with adequate surplus and returns
on investments quite favorable in
the light of present-day conditions.
In an interview with President
Spaulding. of the North Carolina

stated that his Company had also
