It exceeds, in fact, the COMBINED POPULATION of 24 of the States and Territories out of the 52 form- ing the American Union; and as to CITIES, it exceeds the combined population of Greater New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New Orleans and Buffalo, The Company OF the People, Metropolitan (INCORPORATED BY THE STATE OF NEW YORK. STOCK COMPANY) THE DAILY AVERAGE of Business During 1908 was 441 per day in Number of Claims Paid. 6,343 per day in Number of Policies Placed and Paid for, $1,202, 352.87 per day in New Insurance Placed and Paid for. $166,633.89 per day Paid Policy-holders and Added to Reserve, $126,996.37 per day in Increase of Assets. ORDINARY DEPARTMENT INSURANCE IN FORCE, $526,939,378 The Company issues policies for from $1,000 to $1,000,000 on individ- ual lives, premiums payable quarterly, semi-annually or annually. All policies are non-participating. They are plain business contracts which tell their whole story on their face; leave nothing to the imagination; borrow nothing from hope; require definite conditions and make definite promises in dollars and cents, PREMIUMS ARE LOWER THAN ARE OFFERED BY ANY OTHER COMPANY In the Intermediate Branch policies are adapted to the working classes. Each policy is for $500 and the rate lower than that offered by the Savings Bank system of Massachusetts. Two of the Metropolitan's Intermediate forms recently standardized by the New York and Massachusetts Depart- ments provide for attractive combinations of insurance and annuities at the lowest rates offered anywhere. ASSETS, $236,927,361.19 The Metropolitan paid its Policy-holders in 1908 for Death Claims, Endowments, Annuities, Paid-up Policies, Divi- dends, Bonuses, etc., with the amount set aside on their behalf as increased Reserve $50,656,701.34 It has paid to its Policy-holders since organization, plus the amount invested and now on hand for their security $470,366,769.36 HOME OFFICE BUILDING The largest Office Building in the world; Madison Ave. 4th Ave., 23d and 24th Sts., New York City The Batlo of Expense to Premium Income was the Lowest In the Company’s History being over 8 per cent, loss than five years ago and more than 15 per cent. less than ten years ago The Company wrote more business in 1908 than any other Company in the world, and this for the fifteenth consecutive year The number of policies paid in 1908 averaged one for each sixty-five seconds of each business day of 8 hours, and in amount $128.48 a minute, the year through, The value and timeliness of its policy payments may be gleaned from the fact that of the claims paid during the year, 3,479 were under polices less than three months old, 6,890 were on policies under 6 months, and 12,806 were within the first year of insurance.

Additions of from 5 to 30 per cent, are made to policies maturing as claims, according to time policies have persisted.
