The Greatest Business in the World Tremendous Development of Last Ten Years HE AMAZING development of life in- surance during the last ten years is almost beyond comprehension. It is reflected not only by huge figures showing a tremendous volume of business, but also by a remarkable change in the attitude of the public, and perhaps most of all by the - high type of successful men who have been attracted to life underwriting as a business of large opportunities combined with great social usefulness. Ten Years of Progress. The total amount of life insurance in force in this country ten years ago was aproxi- mately 24 billion dollars; today it is over 80 billions. The new insurance written in 1916 was about 4 billions; last vear it approximated 16 billions. More than three times as much insurance in force as ten years ago, and four times as much new insurance written every year, the new insurance for a single year being no less than two- thirds as much as all the insur- ance in force ten years ago. The Continental American has more than kept pace with the tremendous strides of the busi- ness as a whole. It has more than four times as much insur- ance in force as ten years ago, while its new business for last vear was not only five times as great as for 1916 but was nearly equal to all the insurance it then had on its books. Changed Public Attitude. The remarkable development of the business is reflected not alone by the unprecedented volume of insurance, but quite as much by the striking change in the attitude of the public._ Banks and trust companies all over the country, with no in- terest in life insurance but-only in the welfare and credit of their customers, are spending hundreds of thousands of dol- lars to advertise life insurance and to present its benefits and advantages to their patrons. Borrowers are nearly always contronted by the question of how much life insurance they carry, while the Federal Reserve banks, in. rediscounting paper for their member banks, want to know how much the maker of the paper is insured for. Leading lawyers advise their clients to take large amounts of insurance to provide immediate cash for the payment of inheri- tance taxes on their estates; large stock- holders of important corporations insist that the key men on whom the business de- pends shall be heavily insured to cover the loss to the business which will result from their death; partners insure for the benefit of each other, so that at the death of one, money will be provided to buy out his in- terest in the partnership; educators urge parents of promising children to guarantee them a college education through the me- dium of life insurance; home buyers take insurance to pay their mortgages; and the pressure of public opinion prompts every one not merely to provide for dependents, but to provide for them adequately in the easy way so readily available to all. In a word, virtually all the social and economic forces of the nation are vigorously at work to urge the benefits and advan- tages of life insurance upon every member of the community. Preachers preach it, newspapers print editorials about it and the leading men in every line of endeavor not only give it the stamp of their approval, but do everything they can to further its use and development. The Life Underwriter of Today Perhaps the greatest development of all, and possibly the chief cause of the entire development, is the high type of men who have been attracted to life underwriting in recent years, as a business which combines, Wanted—Managers For Twenty Southern Cities Exceptional Men TO QUALIFY FOR IMPORTANT MAN- AGERIAL POSITIONS WORTH UP TO $12,000 A YEAR, DEPENDING ON THE CAPACITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL.

These men have almost revolutiofized the selling end of the business. Life insurance has not only been amazingly popularized, but its cost has been reduced, the old time agent is disappearing rapidly, and the newer men who now dominate the picture are achieving a position of standing and and importance comparable to the banker and the professional man. The result is that people everywhere are not only buying insurance far more readily than ever before, but in much larger amounts. Million-dollar policies, while ex- ceptional, are no more uncommon than hundred-thousand-dollar cases used to be, the hundreds are almost as usual as were the tens, the tens are so frequent that they no longer cause comment, while this Com- pany does not even accept an application of less than $5000 for the special policy which constitutes the larger part of its business. Specializing on the Best Business As a rule, applicants for life insurance who are better risks than the average, do not receive any advantage in rate; they must pay the regular rate for an average risk. The Continental American is the out- standing exception to this rule. It special- izes on the best risks, the “preferred” risks, the class of people who are not merely good average risks, but better risks than the average, and who Insure in amounts of not less than $5000. To this class of preferred risks, made up largely of business and professional men, the Company offers a marked reduction from the usual rate. Even this greatly re- duced rate is larger than is nec- essary, with the result that a dividend is returned to the poli- cyholder every year after the first. This yearly dividend, de- ducted from the low rate, re- duces the net outlay for the in- surance to a very low figure. At the same time, the Com- pany not only maintains the re- gerves required by the insurance laws of the different States in which it operates, but its capi- tal and surplus, over and above those reserves, is about three times as large, in proportion to liabilities, as is usually thought to be necessary—a margin of safety for policyholders about three times as great as the average. Although the Company speci- alizes on the,preferred risks, it insures average risks as well and on unusually favorable terms, while it also insures certain classes of under-average risks at extra rates. evertheless, as the result of specializing on the preferred risks and giving them the benefit of their su- periority, the larger part of the Company’s business comes from that source. Large Possibilities. With the business as a whole developing by such gigantic leaps and bounds, and with the Continental American specializ- ing as it does on the very best class of that business, there is almost no limit to the possi- bilities with this Company for dignified, intelligent sales work. This is what is drawing such exceptional men into the service of the Company ; they are attracted both by the great opportunity which it offers for successful selling, and also by the fact that its unusual growth and expansion assure them rapid advance- ment to important managerial and execu- tive positions as quickly as they develop the capacity to handle them. And since the success of every institution depends almost wholly on the number and the capacity of the men who are associated with it, it is extremely gratifying to realize that for men of the highest type there is such an outstanding opportunity with the Continental American. It is an assurance that the Company will continue in the fu- ture, as it has in the past, to more than keep pace with the amazing development of the business as a whole, and that its ex- ceptional rate of growth will not only be maintained but steadily increased.
