S. 120 BROADWAY, NEW YORK Of all the Equitable’s sixty years of public service, 1918 was by far the most important and successful. During that year the greatest epidemic in America’s history carried off over 400,000 people, most of them in the young and healthful period of life. Of the $27,799,026 distributed in death claims by the Equitable in 1918, to the beneficiaries under its policies, $5,200,000 was di- rectly due to the epidemic of Influenza and Pneumonia, emphasiz- ing the urgent need of life insurance and of securing it at an early age. In 1918 the Equitable distributed to its policyholders.in Death Claims, Endowments, Dividends and other benefits, $65,412,490. It also promptly met all the obligations imposed by the Government during the great war. Liberty Bonds to the amount of $54,000,000 were purchased during 1918. To do this it was necessary for the Society to borrow $23,000,000. The following figures are from the Society’s 59th Annual Statement, which will be furnished on request: OUTSTANDING INSURANCE, Dec. 31, 1918... .$1,924,538,578 Increase over 1917, $169,669,670 NEW INSURANCE IN 1918... $273,223,559 Increase over 1917, $21,878,907 INSURANCE RESERVE ...........$483,817,197 Balance due Banks, Liberty Bond count . Other Liabilities wads SURPLUS RESERVES: For distribution to Policyholders, $919 $18,016,362 Awaiting apportionment on deferred dividend policies .... 4a For Contengencies 12,926,813 $88,910,753 ASSETS, December 31, 1918. . $611,813; 920 Through GROUP INSURANCE the Equitable, in 1918, in- creased the protection furnished by employers to their employes to the extent of $80,000,000. The value of this protection was strik- ingly illustrated during the epidemic. There was a marked gain in policies giving beneficiaries Month- ly Incomes for life, as well as in Business Insurance, and in policies to cover Inheritance Taxes. There was also a large increase in life policies providing for (1) waiver of premiums if totally disabled, (2) continuous income during total disability, and (3) double payment in case of accidental death. As an extension of this branch of Equitable service, policies are now issued giving complete accident and health coverage, and pro- viding for weekly incomes for disabilities caused by accident and disease.
