The fifty-second annual statement
of the Mutual Life has just been is-
sued showing the operations of the
Company for the year of 1894 The
figures speaks for themselves. Com-
pared with the financial results of 1893,
the report shows:
Increase in total income, $ 6,067,724 26
" in premium income 2,528,825 84
Increase in assets 17,931,103 82
Increas in surplus 4 576,718 91
'• of insurance in force 51,923,039 96
These achievements during a period
of general financial depression and un-
certainty are remarkable and unpe-
cedented.
The Company paid to the holders of
its polities on account of claims by
death $11,929,794 94, and for endow-
ments, annuities, dividends and other
payments to living members $9,159,-
462.14. It increased its reserve fund,
to guarantee the future payment of all
claims, from $168,755,071 23 to $182.-
109.456 14, an addition for the year of
$13,354,384 91.
TI.e results for 1894 indicate in-
creased security and permanent bene
tits to every member of this Great
Company. These stupendous figures
indicate the hold that the Company
has upon the confidence of the instil
ing public and show that it seeks, in
constantly increasing ratio, the bene-
fits to be derived from the protection
offered by this the greatest of all the
companies.
