Mr. James was unusually well equipped to do this because he had just finished, at the request of the Company, a three-year study of Metropolitan's operations from the time it was founded. The results of this study have been published by the Viking; Press under the title of "The Metropolitan Life, A Study in Business Growth," on sale at any bookstore. In Mr. James' report of the Company's operations for 1946, he tells a story of con tinued progr in service to policyholders. He posits out that payments to policyholders and their beneficiaries last year exceeded $63000,000. that 2,400,000 people bought new Metropolitan policies in 1946. that the amount of new insurance purchased in 1946 topped anything in Metropolitan's 79 years in business. that the gain in insurance in force set a new high record. that the Company had one of the lowest death rates in its history. that, despite a trend toward increased costs caused primarily by a continued decline in interest rates earned, the Company has found ft possible to eon tinue dividends on Ordinary aed In dustrial policies during the cmning year at the same rates as during 1946. Mr. James' report Is much more than compilation of statistics. Among other things, be discusses the social value of Metropoli tan's investments. For example, he charac terizes Metropolitan's housing program as a "vivid demonstration ot houc private enterprise works for the public good," Whether or not you are a Metropolitan policyholder, you will find the Annual Report to Policyholders well worth reading.
