Since its organization in 1851,
this 90.year old company has paid
more than 1896, 100000 to policy
no ,ders and beneficiaries.
Noting the decline IN the net rate
OF interest earned i'll recent years,
the statement shows the company's
net return of 5000 on total invest
ed funds for 1910, against $500
in 1928. Commenting on this point,
President Bertrand J. Perry said:
What this means in dollars and
cents may be illustrated by the fact
that had the company enjoyed the
same rate OF interest return in
1910 that it did in 1928 there
would have been available for the
benefit OF policyholders an add.
tional sum of approximately Sl2,-
100000 for the year.
whatever may be said for the
political aspect OF low interest
rates, the fact remains that the
