It relates to the human side of a great business. The company's as- hundred and fifteen million dollars | and its policies outstanding are more than twenty-five and a half millions. | Over 1,700,000 policies are held by | Canadians. Many people hold more | than one policy and the best esti-! mate of the company is that this | number of policies insures, in round | numbers, nineteen million indiyid-| uals. As over twenty million of the | policies are the so-called industrial, | on which premiums are collected | weekly, this gives to a company with | the 'financial strength of the Metro- politan an opportunity for health and welfare work: "~The statement | published shows how the company | "| has accepted this opportunity. } While 1921 in the popular mind is put down-as a year of dull Bubthess, life insurance has been an exception. The Metropoltan again held the re-| cord among all companies in the world with $1,564,789,607 new in-| surance placed. In Canada it placed | more than $104,000,000. Its assets increased more than one hundred and | thirty million dollars, and its income | was $38,462,919 more than it was in 1920. | The Metropolitan has a total in-| vestment in Canada amounting to/ nearly $71,000,000. This amount, When John O. Robinson, Trenton, | wanted to buy the 100-acre farm of | | Charles McDonald, in the township | for Sophiasburg, Prince Edward conn | ty, the latter was reluctant to sell, | | but at last fixed a price of $10,000 {on it, advising the would-be pur-| chaser to think the matter over, and {not to be too hasty, because success | depended, he said, on hard work and | | strict attention to business. Robin-| | son bought, however, in February, | { 1920, and McDonald and his wife re-| | tired to Picton. Later Robinson | | brought action for $3,000 damages | for alleged misrepresentation In- | Adam had the advantage of the | cidentally Justice Orde remarks that | of Nurses, Metropolitan nurses made there had been a decline in farm val- ues. Some of the suggested misre- | presentation is described as absurd, und the action is dismissed with | costs, Visiting at Newburgh.

In accepting the opportunity for health and welfare work, the com- pany extended the free nursing ser, vice given to industrial policy-hold- ers 80 that last year it was effective in 2,800 cities and towns in the United States and Canada, and the nurses made more than 2,100,800 free visits. In Canada, largely in co- operation with the Victorian Order 201,888 free visits! Arrangements have been completed by: which em- ployers, insuring their employees un- der group policies, reeeive the bene-' fits of 'the nursing service and wel- fare literature. ; In making their weekly calls to collect premiums, the 16,000 agents distributed booklets and pamphlets dealing with health and disease, tell- ing in simple language how to avoid preventable diseases and what to do if mie policy-holders are sick. More than twenty-five millions of these pamphlets were distributed in this last year. The number distri- buted in Canada was 3,600,000. In 1921 the death rate among in- dustrial' policy-holders reached its lowest point--31 per cent. lower than it was ten years previous, The rate from typhoid fever decreaspd 71 per cent.; from tuberculosis, 49 per cent.: from Bright's disease, nearly 30 per cent. and from infectious diseases of children nearly 37 per cent. The records kept by the company show that, compared with 1911, there were, in 1921, 55,000 fewer deaths than there:would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed. While there has been a general public health movement and notable pro- gress in medical science and sanita- tion, which contributed in part, there is evidence that, a considerable fac- policy-holders of 'the company has been the widespread health campaign carried on by the company. The Metropolitan announces it will continue its/hest efforts for the im- provement of health and the conse- quent saving of life, recognizing that the confidence which the people have in the company gives it still great op- portunity to serve them, not only in insurance profection, but in the pro- longation of life.
