An Outstanding Year
in Metropolitan's History
44 1 Q A j was one of the best years In the
' history of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company.
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.
Metropolitan Annual Report for 1947,
which is entitled "Pages From An Open
Book, contains much additional informa
tion about the Company's operations. If
you would like to have this booklet, fill in
