That their efforts have borne fruit is attested to by the fact that over five millions of instirance was put on the books during the past ten years, and approximately twenty-three million was retained, to be added to the already large volume paw carried by the National BenefitIt is one thing to see the benefits of such a combination'as this, but it is quite another matter to work out a complete plan for its consummation that meets The test of -good in_surance nroceeduce. Here was the first point at which President R. H. Rutherford evidenced that keen jujlgemen which has carried through all of the negotiations, for he went to one fo the foremost firms of insurance actuaries in the country-?Miles M. Dawson &. Son.?ancT sTTcured the services of Mr. Alfred D. Dawson, the junior ,member of the firm, to give liis personal supervision amLattention to the handling of the plan. ~The firm of Miles M. Dawson & Son, of New York City, is recognized as one of the leading firms in matters of-insurance proceedurc, and the plan as worked out w ill thus be assured of" a con tiribatipTTcf the counsel and guidance < f nion whose contribution to the field of actuai'ual seience has had an inestimable value in the development ~<T iaesentsurance practise. Cqun?(tl for the National Benefit in closing thi^ transaction was th.CL-firnr"bT .resented by Mr. W. D. Thomson. Quoting a statement made by Presi; Vent R. H. Rutherford, when he was i ongratulated on the successful out come of the plan: "Service to the pub-1 lie wn;-, the niifln motive which prompted the National Benefit to consider this deal." But the finest oOnotives would have they rot been backed up by the enthusibrilliant 'executive. Mr. Rutherford began his. career with the National Benefitf-as an agent and" received his training in life insurance at; the hands rf his capable father. His pbsiton as executive -head of the largest Negro financialj institution in* the wo"rld is a well deserved one, and there is no the climax but the beginning of an cm of larger 1 service and endeavor. In the handling of details attendenfc " npTTT =TKr ctosing of the deal, Mr. Rutherford was ably assisted by Mortimer F, Smitn/ Assistant Secretary of the National Benefit, one of-their most trusted and valuable officers, I and Mr. John R. J'inkett, Agency Director of thir Ordinray Department. ; These mem have a quiet arid tmassrrm! ing manner but beneath is a courage , and a dare-to-do spirit that served to METTO LBADES i overcome the bariouo obstacles which 1 ..... - " 1 j I arose. ; TH All afreed that this present con^ hinqJioB could not.

Scipio A. Jones, ! the well known attorney of Little Roclc, Arkansas and '13. D. King, of > Memphis Tenn.. Agency Director of . i l!he Southern division of the compa- .

'.>.*! Prominent among the Negro leaders and deserving of special mention is. Attorney A. H. Martin, of Cleveland, Ohio, who initiated and carried to a successful conclusion the lohgp'ending suit, to clarify and permanently settle the Standard Life affairs. This resulted in a decree of the court" approving the acquisition of Standard Life by the-Nation^ Benefit as the best method of completely clearing up the situation that existed in the past. A personel of he'following figures i# an interesting study, and one cannot read the facts given without feeling a great measure-of pride in what H is ndw~the "largest Negro iYisurnace j company?even moref-the?largest" | "Negro business in the world. -The- ? National Benefit now carries $75,000, * 000 worth of insurance in force on ( the lives of moife^than 300,000 Negro 'policy, holders. The total assets of ( the company are more than $4,000,000 !
