With 18 million a substan

ted for policyholders' dividends
to be paid during the current
year, the Sun Life Assurance
Company of Canada enters its
80th year of public service with
a promising; outlook for 1050.
The Sun Life has been jtctive in
the United Utates for over half
a eentury and today maintain!
branch office and agency serv
ice In 40 stales from coast to
coast. During the year Just past,
the total amount of life in
surance which policyholders pur
chased from the Sun Life ex
ceeded $373 millions, continuing
the unbroken record of selling
more new life insurance per
annum than any other Canadian
life company. Insurance in force
with the Sun Life now amounts
to $4,187,000,000, an all - time
high. Total Income of the Com
pany In 1049 was $238,000,000.
The 79th Annual Report of
Hie Sun Life of Canada Just
iseued indicates the company's
faith in the United States where
mora than 48 of Its assets are
Invested and where $1,690,000,
900 or 40 of its total business
Is In force. Benefits paid to Sun
Life policyholders and benefici
aries since the Company's first
policy was Issued in 1871 have
now reached $3,240,000,000. Last
year alone over $114,000,000 was
paid out In benefits.
At the Annual Meeting held
at the Head Office of the Com
pany the President, Arthur B.
Wood, reviewed the remarkable
progress of life insurance over
the last SO years. In 1900, with
a population of 76 millions, the
United Staled had life insurance
in force of some $7 billions, or
about $90 per capita. Today the
population has almost doubled
but life Insurance in force has
risen to $215 billions, or $1430
per head. The Sun Life's own
business has more than kept
pace with this Increase, today's
total in force of $4,187 millions
comparing with only $53 millions
in force at the beginning of the
century. During these 50 years,
too. Sun Life policy provisions
and privileges have been broad
ened, available options increased
and many new benefits intro
duced. Even before 1900 the
Company was the first to Intro
duce the "unconditional" policy,
following later with the popular
Sun Life non-medical insurance
plan. The Company also issued
the first Group Pension policy
written anywhere in North Amer
ica, an epoch-making event In
the history of life insurance.
One of the outstanding fea
tures of Sun Life operations
during 1949 was the pronounced
increase in the Company's Group
business. Hundreds of thousands
of office, factory and other em
ployees in business and industry
throughout North America are
today protected by the generous
terms of Sun Life Group insur
ance and annuity plans. The
Company's experience and serv
ice in this particular field is
unsurpassed. Today, the Import
ance of Group Insurance Is
recognised by all those con
cerned with the encouragement
and maintenance of good rela
tions between management and
labor, and the welfare and social
security of the Individual em
ployee. The Sun Life story for 1949,
