Hearts and Two Statements one of which has to do with Health and JVelfare the other with Financial Strength AN OPEN LETTER (Name on 'Request) Mr. Haley Fiske, Praidtnt t Metropolitan Lie Insvrance Co, New York City My Dear Mr. Fisii: Why don't you publish a Heart Statement along with the regular Financial Statement you put out each year? Any company can publish impressive figures of financial strength, financial growth, etc. But figures don't stick. All I remember from your last year's Statement is that the Metropolitan has several million policyholders and is- the biggest life insurance company in the world. I've been following some of your magazine advertisements lately that tell of work you're doing to help people live longer. It isn't entirely clear in my mind just how you're doing it or why you do it, but since you are doing it, give us the facts and figures tn that. Call it a Heart State- , ment or a Welfare Statement, or anything you like, but give us the facts. Perhaps other Metropolitan policyholders like myself would be interested in a Statement of that kind. Very truly yours, C. N. S WE are indebted to Mr. S. for his suggestion. It is an excellent one. .We publish, an annual Business Statement of the Metropolitan, not because we think that the figures will be remembered, but because they offer conclusive evidence of unusual growth and strength to its 22,000,000 policyholders. And it is this extraordinary financial strength that makes it possible for the Metropolitan to carry on a nation-wide campaign for better health and longer life. People now live longer Records kept by the Metropolitan show an extraor dinary decrease in the death rate among its policy holders. Compared with 191 1, for example, there were nearly 62,000. fewer deaths in 1924 among its Industrial Policyholders than there would have been if the 1911 death rate had prevailed.

These increases irt longer life are due in large part to the Metropolitan's Health and Welfare Work among its policyholders. You are the gainer You and all the other 22,000,000 policyholders one out of every six people in the United States and Canada reap the benefit through better health and decreased cost of insurance. , The wealth of the Metropolitan belongs to you and to no one else. The Metropolitan has no stock and no stockholders. It is owned solely by its policyholders. You, as one of the policy holders, share in the owner ship of all its investments; in its railroad bonds, its real estate mortgages, its loans to farmers, loans to states, cities and towns for public improvements and similar enterprises. You, as a part-ow ner of over $1,600,000,000, should read the two state ments on the left with a feeling of pride in what your company has achieved. The efforts as well as the assets, of the Metropolitan are dedicated to protection against future want to greater happiness, better health and longer lilc. , Financial Statement 'DECEMBER 31, I914 , Assets $1,623,174,348.20 Liabilities! .
