Life Insurance Increases
(Hartford Courant)
Life insurance written thus far
this year shows a healthy increase
over that of 1925. New life insur-
ance production in the hut seven
months of the year was 9.8 per cent
greater than for the corresponding
period of last year. according to a
report made to the United states
Department of Commerce by the
Association of Life insurance Presl-
dents. This report ll. of the busi-
ness of forty-live companies having
membership in the association.
They have 81 per cent of the total
life insurance outstanding in all

last month was 6.2 per cent greater

More and more are people being
educated as to the necessity of
carrying adequate life insurance, so
that the question which has to be
answered by the man or woman who
is the prospective risk is how much
his or her income will permit pay-
ing for insurance. in answering this
question the insurance agent who is
- big enough and broad enough to see
that his proper course is to assist
in answering this question can be
very helpful.

metal industries as a whole are sen-
sationally above last July. The gen-
eral expectation that the automotive
industries simply must slacken
proves unwarranted as shown by
General Motors‘ big profits. The
"saturation" tnlk does not grip. Says
one review: "Prosperous conditions
throughout the country. high wages
and full employment mean sustained
large purchasing power."
Sears-Roebuck Sr. Co. is the intent
of the mail order houses. its July
sales were 7.3 per cent. over last
year—this one concern sold in sev-
en months Ili6.638.802 worth of
merchandise. So with other such
concerns and chain stores. Some of
their big increases are explained by
the opening of new stores. but the
old stores gain from a to 16 per
cent. Payroils are higher for each
month then in ins-though not in
all lines. textiles. including woolen
goods. men's clothing. silk goods and
cotton goods are exceptions. The
auto tire industry is also somewhat
off as regards payroll.
The stock market is at high. with
the public buying eagerly. as si-
waye at such times. With such wide-
spread industrial health as the fig»
ures show. firm quotations are cer~
tainly Justified for the present. That
a "sifting down" in the stock mar-
ket is inevitable. follmvlng such
months of rising figures. is the les-
son of‘hlstory and no great incident
would be necessary to precipitate
it—th! presence of a strong “short"
interest in Wall street is to be ex-
pected: but if there are menacing
factors sufficient to break the pres-
ent national prosperity. they are
not obvious. and presumably there
will be some warning. A tariff. cam-
paign could deli and some have long
maintained that the streets are full
of automotiiies which must event'-
ually be paid for by a long period
of pinch and sacrifice. So too. there
is a thrifty group who distrllht the
instalment system in general no).
What these factors may do with us.
and what confusing elements ‘mny

caldron remains for the future to
