ri UNE with its long-established "Opeu
Book" policy, Metropolitan recently
asked Marquis James, noted historian
and a Metropolitan policyholder, to write
the Company's Annual Report to Policy
holders for 1946.
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.
