Life Insurance as It Affects Credit \\\ > TJON. A. BARTON HEPBURN, Chairman of tho Boaard of Directors or the Chase National Bank of New Yofk City, delivered an address on the "Relation of Life Insur ance to the Credit Fabric of Business," at the Eigth Annual Meeting c* tho As- i relation of Life Insurance Presidents, December 10. 1914. It was by means of a life insurance policy, Said Mr. Hepburn, that he received his education. Some excellent points, however, are made by Mr. "Hepburn with particular, . rfeerence to' the value of life, insurance for business and the following is a summary of his paper: Relation of Life Insurance to tho Credit Fabric of Business. "Do wo not pay top, much attention to property qualifications and too little to personal qualities? The law's delays and the iaw's circumvention permit property to melt away, but the-element of personal honesty and the quality of efficiency do not change with time. "With' such thoughts in mind it Is interesting to note the activities of life insurance companes. In urging life insurance as a means of circumventing the disaster almost sure to follow, in cases where death removes, from tha~ management of a business the man whose foresight and;ability have made the business a success. * "Life insurance is also being made to serve the useful purpose of Insuring^, credits against the death of debtors whose ability to pay their, debts is maref:" dependent upon their living than hpon the amount nf property they.may owpi.\ I borrowed money to finish my educa?ou, aud had my life insured r.s collatr.v ' " oral. Tho party making the loan believed I would repay th? same if 1 lived,'*:'/ and that the insurance company would If I did not. ffi "There Is another feature of life insurance about which.. I would like tO.V^> : speak?tlie psychological significance of life insurance as it ohould ,bc viewcViy.v^ '. from a creditor's standpoint. "~ < :. .^.vi>ei*.^ "When it comes to extending credit, tho average business man does not, per- ' haps, have in mind any set of rules or formulae. He reaches a conclusion by the short cut to which he ia accustomed. He should in some way, either gen eral or specific, by inquiry or intuition, seek and obtain answetj to a number of .questions such as these: 'Has the man ability, salf-control, prudence and forethought? Is he cautious, frugal and normal in his habits of life? Hbb ho sense of justice and proper regard for the rights of others? Is Be accustomed to assume responsibility, and does ho understand the need for being prepared to meet emergencies? Is he home-loving, industrious, and mindful of duty? is he progressive, and likely therefore to keep pace wtih his competitors? Does he .know how to get money'b worth for money expended? Is ho fickle, and erratic, or are his habits fixed and his purpose in life well-defined? Has' 1 he integrity 'and reputation and docs he cherish his standing among his fellow-men? Is ho ; elfish and self-centered,.or does he think.of others, and. especially, of .wife, children and those who may be dependent upon him? < .' -'' "Sure it will require no argument before a group of life Insurance experts to prove that a careful and detailed inquiry as to tho life Insurance a man car ries would shed light upon each of the questions I have attempted to forrnu- "' into and to which many others of similar import might well be added. "Suppose, for example, in seeking information as to a man's forethought.' pruden.ee. caution, frugality, unselfishness,'reliability and other qualities ' *' which gb' to make up high character and good repute, wb should ask how1''' ' '' much life Insurance he carries, of what kind and for how long has* it been? ' carried, in what companies has It been taken out and Is It for the protection of tho family or the business or both? Could we find anywhere better evidence of tho Working of the man's mind, of his habit of life, of his sense of respon sibility, arid in face of all those qualities upon which we must rely for fulfil ment of,promises so far aS personality is concerned? Of course. Inquiries, f? concerning a man's life insurance will iot answer all of Hie questions Involv ed In the matter of extending'credit, no.*, any of them conclusively, but I doubt if there If tiny one line of Inquiry that could he made, of a man wh?^haa.reechj'i -,. . od middle age, after having been engaged In business for several years, that * tt would.'.conie as hear showing both ability and determination-to meet Obligo- . ,? tions.apd.keep promises. , / j X? "Banks nave long been accustomed to ask large borrowers for a statement'^; ' of the life Insurance they carry, and It seems to me thnt commercial agencies, * like Dun's and .Bradstreol's, should ask for similar information .for use In reaching n conclusion as to the credit-rating to which a man is entitled*. ' Suohi ? < Information is certainly valuable contributory evidence." He characterized life, insurance companies as the greatest Investment banks J '' ' in the country, and, for that reason, expressed th? belief that upon them..,,,,,, rests the samo obligation to keep Jlqulr funds on hand to relieve the Country in times of need, as rests upon banks and trusty companies, which are^ow-r*--1,', - ' quired by law to keep a reserve,against their liabilities. ? l: ?
