ALMOST INCREDIBLE. ati It almost passes belief that a single life insurance company should be able, alter only thirteen years of effort, to make such @ business report as that just published by the Equitable Life Assurance So- clety. Starting in 1859, without other capital than the $100,000 required by law, and wedging itself, a9 it were, into the very heart of a business—even then supposed to be overdone by the few conserva- tives who tilled the fleld—the Equitable has made for itself an enviable position in the eonfidence of the public, Instead of the $100,000 it had at the beginning, it now has almost twenty milliona of dollars of substantial, well-in vested, tnterest-earn- ing assets; and, from the modest business it began with, its volume of transactians has now become enormous. That a life insurance confpany, Only thirteen years old, can report having issued 12,491 policets, insuring nearly fifty-two mailliom dollars in one year, simost. staggers cre@ulity. For, it must be remembered, thts sum of “$52,000,000 is not enly a large amouat Of itself, but also that itis nearly | twice a8 much as the ‘average amount at risk im all the Mfe insurance companies in the country, young and old. That is, the Equitavle’s business last year alone was equal to mearly twice the average aggregate business of all American.com- panies during their entire existence. But to make this evmparison mage striking we need only reproduce /w few figures from the offteial returns for 1871 of¥certain other life companies older than the Equitable, the names being omitted for obvious reagons:~- One Year's Bust ness of the ized, f Years, Equitable Life, 1850 21 $51,911,079 1852 20 1850 2 1353/ 19 1850 12 1363 19 1850 21 1851 ” 1450 at 51, 1847 24 51,91. 1845 26 51,911,079 1849 22 51,911,079 Here,*then, are twelve companies of the average age of‘twenty years, whose entire riska, aa the resvjt of their twenty years’ work, average only abut $27,000,000; while in contrast we have the “Equitable reporting for 1612 alone, the acquisition new business amounting te $52,000,000, Talk of enterprise, vigor of management, progress and the like!
