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.

While the average life span in the United States is
51, years greater than it was 12 years ago, the life span
of the Industrial Policyholders of the Metropolitan in
creased nearly 8Jj years a betterment of three years
. over the general average in the same interval.
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.
