Hoards. va * A MUTUAL ORGANIZATION ? FOUNbED IN 1-845 (Incorporated under tho La we of New York) 346 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, N. Y. Seventy-Eighth Annual Statement ? vf TO THE POLICY HOLDERS. ./ As the Company becomes larger it becomes increasingly important that you should better understand your relation Jo jt and better appreciate what you' as a policy-holder reality] own, and what your property is dqing for you and for others. Here we are ? mutual, no stock, na/uividends except to you, no division in purpose, just i general plan to stand by each otbcVagainst the vicissitudes of life and against that certain but unknown date when our obligations to our families will mature. We operate scientifically. We do not guess. We do not speculate. We have certain-coii viGtions based generally on that famous formula of the Declaration of _ Independence which affirms our inalienable right to Life. Liberty and the Pursuit.! of Happiness. We go further. We admit that these rights remain "inalienable" only if \vc deservtl them. 1 Through unsound thinking, unsound living, sloth, extravagance and pure cussednessj these rights can be alienated and lost. Through industry, frugality, clean living, provision! for dependents and a due. regard for the rights of others, these rights are made vital. We together, approximately 1,500,000 of us, have justified our claim to these inalienable] jtfirhts in that we stand pledged t<> help each other, find our dependents, to the extent of $1,000,00.0,000. \] \ ' i * .... . I As the laws of Life Insurance figure it, our present liability is $788,236,317.00, and in | this the Insurance Department of the State of New York concurs. We have in hand, accumulated as a sinking fund with which fully to redeem these mu-| 4ual pledges of $4-, 000, 000,000. just und'er $1,000,000,000. This is property, a great property* It belongs to you. Have you ever thought of that? If not, begin to think that wav now. Your policy represents your share in that property; your policy IS PROPERTY. Do you own a piece of Real Estate? If so, you know wfc\at that means; but your Real Estate is not so certain in its value as your Policy in this C^Hipany. Do you own a Bond? If so, and if that Bond is one issued by Uncle Sam, you knowl what that means; but even Uncle Sam's Fjond is no more certain than your Policy, and| lacks its emergency power. ? Your Bond for $1,000 cost you 81,000 or thereabout^, and it's good, certainly good ir| Uncle Sam issued it. ?>.-? V , > Your policy for $1,000 may not as yet have cost you more than $25.00, and it's good,] good for $1,000. when that unknown day comes. You .bought your bit of Real Estate, your Government Bond and your Life Polic>\for the| same purpose ? -to protect your dependents, to protect yourself, in old age. Life Insurance Policy is as certain .as your Bond, more dependable than your Real! Estate. LOOK AT THE PICTURE PRESENTED BY THE ATTACHED BALANCE SHEET.
