The company today ranks among the largest and j safest institutions. What it gains it holds. Progress is always forward, and while some years it may gain more than others, the records show that each has been a substantial growth upon the preceding one. A | reporter sought an interview with j Harry F. West, who has presided over i the destinies of the company since Jnly, 1897. Being questioned about the work of last year he said in part: “Yes, it was our fullest, largest and best. We insured on our various plans 29,729 men and women, to the amount of $69,632,777, running ahead of the prior year something over $7,000,000. No other company has ever, inside of twelve months, written so large a percentage of new business ! to the old business in force, and this ' is remarkable.” Our various plans of insurance are unsurpassed anywhere. Their great variety makes it possible to fit the applicant with just the variety which he needs. He can exercise a wide choice, and is not compelled to accept something which only par tiaily meets the situation. See annual j statement in another column. Low Rate ol Interest.
