The Company '1 financial position was excellent. More Metropolitan policyholders than ever before enjoyed the blessings of life insurance. Through investments, the Company played a bigger role than in any preceding year in helping to keep the wheels of industry turning ... to provide jobs and homes . . . and to maintain high standards of living. "However, the year was not without its problems. Insurance costs were higher be cause of lower interest rates, and because of the prevalent increase in the cost of goods and services." President Leroy A. Lincoln reported these facts in his account of the Company's 1947 activities in a motion picture entitled "Pages From An Open Book." Here are some other important facts about 1947 presented by Mr. Lincoln: Payments to policyholder and benefi ciaries totalled J67 1,000,000 topping all records. More than 2,300,000 people bought Metropolitan policies during the year. The tout of Metropolitan policy holders reached 32,384.000. At the year-end, policyholders owned a total of $37,250,000,000 of Metropolitan protection the greatest amount in the Com pany's history. Metropolitan will pay in 1948 somewhat more in dividends to policyholders than in 1947. although there will be downward ad justments for certain classes of business. Mr. Lincoln also reported that last year a committee representing all State Insurance Departments completed, as required by law, a periodic examination of Metropolitan. In their conclusions, the examiners reported: The examination of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company indicates that it is in a sound financial condition. "Policy claims are paid promptly, and fair and equitable treatment has been accorded the policyholders.
