1972. The busiest year in our history
O u r cards went through a lot last year.

M ore pcopk- used them than ever before (we
handled over 678,000 claims, a ‘¿ ff/i increase
over 1971). A nd in h a n d lin g those claims, we
paid out more money than ever before ($50.4
m illio n , a 16% gain over 1971).
But significantly, even though o u r w ork
load was up last year, o u r cost o f h a n d lin g that
load was down. O u r ra tio o f o ,ic ra tin g ex,tenses
