e re, Proof of Public Confidence This Company has more premium-pay- ing business in force in the United States than any other Com- pany, and for each of the last 14 years has had more New Insurances accepted and issued in Am- erica than any other Company. The number of Policies in force is greater than that of any other Company in America, greater than all the Regular Life Insurance Com- panies put together Qless onej, and can only be appreciated by comparison. It is a greater number than the Combined Population of Great- er New York, Chica- go, Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis and Cleveland. .L ,. me rn .I s 'E l 'I lil E nn r1 '.XhEl3'39g'b: 'V l' E :4!
