THOSE PHEHUMENAI. FIGURES Published in these columns two and three weeks ago, showing what strides have been made by the BANKERS RESERVE LIFE, are still the talk of business people, whether in the life insurance business or engaged in other lines. B. H. Robison, president of the Bankers Reserve Life Association, the aggressive western company which has become so widely and favorably known, shook up the dry bones of the life insurance world in his annual report. In insurance circles the phenomenal figures contained in that re- port have been the principal topic of dis- cussion ever since they were made public. Friends are congratulating the company with great sincerity and foes are admitting that no other life insurance company in the west has ever mudu so remarkable a record, JUST THINK OF THE FIGURES! Premiums for 1902................. Invested assets for 1902 . Cash in bank December 31, 1 Net ledger assets De 3, New business, Total insurance in forc DEATH RATE LOWE Only $6,500 in losses incurred during the year 1902, Every loes paid and every ob- ligation met prior to maturity. Not a ledger item of indebtedness which is due and unpaid. Not a contested claim on the records or in the courts. Put these facts together with that other great fact that the Bankers Reserve Life Association began writing its present forms of policies but little more than three years ago. B, H, ROBISON, PRESIDENT, and his corps of agents and associate officers have a right to be proud of the young company. They have earned the legitimate privilege of proclaiming to the world that here In the heart of the central west the people are building up a home company which will one day be a pillar of strength to the financial welfare of the west, PROFITABLE .$ 179,509.14 90, POSITIONS DUCERS, The Bankers Reserve Life is extending its . fleld of operations to other states, thereby has choice territory and lucrative positions open to business and profes- slonal men who can organize, or life in- surance producers can obtain positions on most liberal terms. ‘BANKERS RESERVE LIFE, TO PRO- OMAHA.

I was almost stunned when the policeman rattled out the name, and was surprised to learn that it meant only a porter with a push cart, and that notwithstanding his title his charges were but 15 cents for the service. About an hour later I wanted to go to see a machine factory and was told that the ‘“Nederlandische-voor-Scheeps-en~ Werktuigbouw-‘Fijencord’ "’ was one of the largest, employing thousands of workmen; and when I asked if I could not see the American consul general the same day, my landlord informed me I could, for he lived on Van Vollenhovenstratt, and I could drive there on my return from the factory. In- deed, 1 can’'t remember the simplest of these Dutch directions, and I find the language almost as dificult as the Choctaw or the Chinese. FRANK G. CARPENTER.
