Your Life Insurance in VJartimo
IN TTMX or WAS, the security underlying
your life insurance takes on a new mean
'log. More man ever before, security for the
family is paramount.
While supporting that security, your life
insurance dollars, invested in Government
Bonds, are helping to buy planes, tanks, ships,
guns, and all the other implements of war.
Thus your life insurance dollars are helping
to safeguard American lives and liberties.
At the end of 1941, Metropolitan had a
total of $1,214,931,424.25 invested in
United States Government Bonds . . . about
22 of the Company's assets. In addition,
$i 04,9826249 was invested in Canadian
Government Bonds.
In born the United States and Canada, life
insurance dollars are helping to finance your
defense housing, transportation facilities, the
production of powtfj and the industries which
are pouring out the steel, chemicals, oil, food,
monitions, and other materials needed for the
war. Each month more and more of your life
insurance dollars are flowing from the chan
nels of peace into investments that serve war
uses and war industries.
. -. .- i j . '
- Because of public appreciation of lif in
surance, increased efficiency of our agents,
and the better national Income during 1941,
lapses and surrenders were at the lowest rate
recorded in the Company's history.
In fulfilling its obligations to policyholders
during 1941, Metropolitan paid or credited
to. policyholders and their beneficiaries
snore than $567,900,000. Of this amount
more than $383,700,000 was paid or credited
to Vvini policyholders.
Metropolitan is a mutual company. Its
assets are held for the benefit of its policy
holders and theif beneficiaries. In the mean,
time, these assets are, as always in the past
being used to help meet national needs. -
