Its assets belong to 23 the policyholders. They are accumulated to meet policy obligations and for no other purpose. Every policyholder is a capitalist- an investor-and his ` interest should be recognized by legislators and commissioners. The policyholders own over $313,000,000 in railroad securities; $606,000,000 in real estate mortgages; $80,000,000 in public utility bonds; $200,000,000 in Government obligations. 2,359,034,859.00 1,431,399,418.27 171,54-9,093.04 9,238,254,068.00 3,910,1 56,319.00 617,467,114.00 1,430,69'I/3111.00 396,311,66-4.25 55,64-3,362.95 |$ 63,425,1 T 33:1'3:21;i 1,342,331,457 2,816,504,462 9,238,254,068 Oulunndinn lnIur- nnce at End of Year $525,749,774 The I\ 01"thm'11 ;\d\'zmce 113,894,757 75,700,661 105,000,000 30,221,727 430,866 COMPANY-NEW YQRK The Metropolitan is establishing a head oice in Canada. It will be located in Ottawa,where land has been purchased on which the Company will erect its own business building. The Canadian business East of the Rocky Mountains will be transferred to the Ottawa office, and here after Canadian business East of the Rockies will be transacted in Canada. In effect this means bringing to the Dominion an in- surance company having more than $500,000,000 of life insur- ance in force. Canadian policies will be issued in Canada, Canadian premiums will be paid to the Canadian office and from this Canadian oice the claims will be paid to Canadian beneciaries. METR0P9L.1T.AN Third Vice-President ARCHIBALD F. C. FISKE will be the chief ex- ecutive officer and a sta will be assembled in Ottawa suicient to handle the Canadian business which has been so rapidly in creasing. The number of Met- ropolitan policies held by Cana- dians at the end of December, 1923, was 1,921,652, much the largest number held in any company--an indication that the Company has the condence of Canadians. ._the Dominion in ' in premiums The W/elfare work of the Com- pany will be continued itnd ex- tended in Canada exactly as it will in the United States. Except in communities too small to permit the service, the Coinpariy sends nurses to Industrial policy holders when they are sick, free of charge. In 1933 1l1CSL` nurses made 2,482,919 \'i>'itS, or` which 280,805 were to Canadians. The Company distributes a Vast number of booklets and pam- phlcts giving hints as to prc\ en- tion and cure of disease in an effort to improve health and hy<:,ienic conditions among its policyholders. `Last year it dis- tributed 33,790,840 such pieces ofliterature. In Canada 2,288,552 pieces were distributed. The Metropolitan's total invest mcnts in Canada at the end of 1923 were over $lO5,0C'O,CCO of which $43,813,575 { =_-, was in Canadian Government bonds. This in vestment, added to the sum paid in Canada to policy- holders and for administration ex- penses and taxes, since the Company began business in it. I November, 1885, exceeds by about fifty million dollars theamountreceived by the Company from Canadian . : policyholders. 4` p` n TIN 1 110I%1'o. `.`m1mt1"' l (lied I 1" 1= 5, .:ta1rsis}'] L ( pair` by f "ma- ; sons .u_...nu'1h T `u Reynoltls, one of the oldest\ lresidenlls 01' Tec11msM.h to\\':1s`.1ip.
