A FEW FACTS
ABOUT THE
NEW YORK LIFE
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany has, in round numbers, three
thousand millions of insurance in
force, and one thousand millions in
assets to guarantee its obligations.
Every cent of its assets belongs to its
policy-holders, for, being mutual, there
is no company outside of the policy
holders. There is not one share of
stock, and the policy-holders insure
one another. Every policy has a cash
value after two or three y^ars, and
can be surrendered at any time for
cash. Besides the guaranteed cash
value, there are certain margins of
safety added to cost of insurance, and
such margins, when not used, are paid
back to policy-holders as dividends
or profits at the end of each year. The
New York Life is paying back to its
policy-holders this year over $32,000,
000 in dividends for its savings, etc.,
in 1918, in spite of the influenza and
the war. The normal death rate of
the New York Life is now about two
and a half millions a month. Last
year, on account of the “flu,” it ran
as high as six millions a month. If
there were no margin of safety the
company would really not be trust
worthy.
The company is now issuing splen
did contracts with clauses relieving
policy-holders from payment of pre
mium, and providing an annual in
come in case of total and presumably
permanent disability; and also
doubling amount of insurance in case
of death while traveling in public con
veyances or from general accident.
M. E. LeBlanc, who has represented
the company in Alaska for over twelve
years, is now in Cordova for a few
days, and can be seen at the Windsor
hotel. He is anxious to meet any pol
icy-holder in connection with the busi
ness of the company and also any
body who is interested in the matter
of protection investment.
The New York Life stands with
the government in relation to govern
ment insurance, and M. E. LeBlanc is
an appointed agent of the government
to advise and assist any of the en
listed men in their insurance, and the
conversion of same to any prescribed
form. He begs to announce that he
would be pleased to meet anyone car
rying government insurance and would
deem it a privilege to be allowed to
give them any advice or assistance
desired in regard to their insurance.
