THE METROPOLITAN LIFE lNSUR-

For the information of its army of

Ince organization continues to carry
inore policies and to distribute greater
benefits among the whole people than
buy other like institution, while its
own IesouIces gain steadily in ptoper
latio to Its increasing volume of busi-

, Tile magnitude of the company's
operations is astounding. To fully on-
derstandthe meaning of the figures
healing in totals for the year, it is
necessary to bring them down to the
smallest division of time. For exam-
ple, the mind can scarcely compre-
end the. significance of the statement
list the total amount of outstanding
)ollcios at the end of the year was
1.861,,890.803 but we can easily grasp
he no less astonishing fact that dur«
lug the business hours of everv day in
the year an ave'ragc of 6.343 new pol-
lobes were issued and paid for. Every

ten million policies (9.960.100) are car-
ried by the individuals in the Metropol-
Itan Life. If these policy-holders were
gathcled into one community they
would constitute a city of more than
the combined population of the twelve
largest cities‘iu the- llnited States.
PCllillIis nothing. brought out in this
eptIrt is more wonderful to contenI
plate than the fact that one foIce of
IxecutiIe (Idioms and office employees

it is obvious that tlIo2.detropolitan

thousands of , business organizations
but never approach this company in
magnitude of operation. It is not
merely executive ability. but the abili-
ty to inspire and hold public confidence
that has counted most in building up
his greatest of all insurance compan-
es. The Metropolitan Life deals di-
rectly with the people. its policy from
the beginning has been one of entire
frankness with the. people. No man
however unused to the making of busi-
ness contracts. can fail to understand
exactly what are the terms of his con-

obligation of the policyholder to the

" Instead of leading its policy- holchs
to hope [’01 wine than they. eventually

taken :1 directly opposite course.,WitlI-
in the past few yearsdt has distributed
sums amounting to nearly eighteen
millions of dollars among its policy-
