Everybody knows and t.l.IIIl 83,351 H35 in today by its own standard up by the. state is exceeds 89. 000 H000 ’l‘hc III‘IitiIlI-Im tllat the company gets in respect of the poliI v of its manage- ment in the field of life insurance. up this your. not It hit on the Ilefen~ sivc. but as a reason for confidence in his company. ilc points out that for years past the line of demarkation between the Connecticut Mutual and the. socailed “racers" has been grow- ing more and more evident. and he goes on to show their differences and wherein mutual life insurance wtth its certainties is safer and wiser than the ’ lotteries and experiments which are. held out elsewhere to those who go in not for insurance but for what is real. ly a gamble. He shows clearly how the mutual is the plan that benefits all concerned. and the tontine and oth- er schemes are not for the many but for tlIII few. The very argument made for them is that only about one- third hold out to the end and. that third get what in the original design of life . insurance would have been divided among all. The many lose: and the few gain and the chances therefore are that whoever goes in will lose. Not merely the 70.000 persons insured in the Connecticut Mutual, but all insur- ed anywhere and all interested to busi- ness morality will find this . report what used to be called “mighty inter estin’ ri'eadin . . w Colonel Greene makes his appeal to those who want life insurance) and who want It as sure and as cheap Its it can be had. He does not offer a spec- ulation and he wants his compuny counted out of that business. The Con- necticut Mutual is loathe conservatiw element in society who want just what they may expect and t'o' be sure' of get- ting that in due time As a result of this policy the company has not kept pace in “growth with some others but. it proceeds steadily and conserva— tively, and those interested in it know always where to find it. it was back in 1882 that President ‘ Greene. toreseeing the reduction of the rate of ntcrcst that has since come about. oh nged his calculations from a l per cent. assumption to 3 per cent. freely criticised, but today companies all over the country are taking pains to announce that they have adopted the same standard. which is a note- worthy recognition of his foresight. The report briefly reviews the course that in its fiftyseven years the Con nootlcut Mutual has taken from its policyholders $222. 082. 805 and has paid back to them 8220. 472. 549. anti has on hand 865. 641 .637. This is the ' racle of interest and in itself the mists demonstration of not only once. The improvement in the value of the ’ property of the estate of Augustin Da- iy will be of benefit to one Norwalk man. Actor George Clark. who is am- ong the beneficiaries. Mr. Clark is to receive a share of the profits of the theatres in New York and Inndon. At the time of his death Mr, Daly owed more than he could pay, but since then der careful management the estate h a prospered and the various- be- quests will be paid in full. ——9’ ’ MASOUERADE SURPRISE PAR.TY Alfred F Wilmott, one of the popu- lat conductors on the West avenue line. was given a masquerade surprise party by about thirty of his friends at“ no home in Waphlngton street; la'at night.
