EIGHTEEN BANKS
SELL INSURANCE
800 Policies TOtaIing
$337,O34 Sold By Wa
terbury Savings Bank

Over two million dollars Of Saw
ings Bank Life Insurance is now in
force through the eighteen mutual
savings banks in Connecticut identi-
fled with the system. Of these the
Waterbury Savings Banks is listed
as holding 1859 policies in force at
the end of the current month in
the amount of $337,934.
This plan has been in operation
for % months and the steady in
crease of business indicates that
the plan has been a success in Con-
necticut.
A substantial portion of the bus
mess has been written through the
banks located in the principal in
dustrial cities of the state with
many working people taking advan-
tage of this new plan providing low
cost life insurance over the coun-
ter of the banks.
1t is estimated that about 80 per
cent of the applications for insur-
ance are for $1,000 or less and al
most so per cent of the applications
that have been received are from
the people that had no previous in
surance at the time of making APP
plication.
