THE GAZETTE-TIMES. IIF.1TXER, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEB. 16, 1922. taw: six IHSU1GE DOLLAR PUS QNJVERALLS President of Insurance Com pany Tells What Is Done With Enormous Income. It's Activities Reflected in All Walks of Life and in All Business Activity. By Fokrest Dryden, President Prudential Insurance Co., of America. Editors Sote. Forrest Dryden. president of the Prudential Insur ance company of America is widely- known throughout the insurance and banking world. His own company is one of the greatest financial insti tutiiins in the world. His explana tion of what is done with the millions that vour into the insurance com panys each year is an enlightening article that gives to the public a new conception of insurance ana us re suits. So the storv rnieht be carried on indefinitely, but enough has been1 -aid perhaps, to give you a little pie- hire of the multitude of activities; vhich are being made possible through the wise investment of your i insurance savings. Your insurance j ! .i.illar is not a croud aristocrat, snob bishly living an idle life. Ratehr iti Is a worker n overalls, helping to build and maintain the most vital in stitutions of modern life. It is paid for its work in interest or dividends, of course, as is perfect lv rrorer and riant. And the interest dollars and dividend dollars are put tc work in their turn a constantly increasins armv of dollar workers. adding to the security behind your insurance policy and reducing its i-ost to vou. So if vou would look for vour in surance dollar look about you Stand some morning in the office of a lar?e life insurance company when the mail is opened. See the stacks of letters broucht in and emptied on the receiving tables, and let your imagination busy itself with the stories that lie behind these en velopes. There is a money order from a cross-roads post-office only a few dollars, yet a husband and wife have ced for a month to purchase the. nrotection it reoresents. Here is a check for thousands a great cor poration has insured the life of its rresident in order that the business may be protected in the event of his loss. Stiff, formal envelopes, and poor shabby envelopes some addressed in typewriting, some in ink, some with lead pencil in letters hardly leg iblebut everyone a magnificent testimony to human faith. For the people from whom these envelopes come have never seen the office of the insurance company nor met its nffirers! thev are entrustins the dear est thing in the world the protec tion of their wives and children to men whose names even are almost unknown to them. Surely there is no more solemn trust than this. I pity the insurance man, no matter how familiar the sign . may be to him who can watch the morning mail be inp ooened without feeline a renew ed and deepened sense of obligation at this vast, silent, ritual of Confi dence and Faith. Where the Money Goes. Now what becomes of these mil lions that are sent to the insurance companies from families all over the world? Are thev kert piled up in banks? Some of them are, for sound insurance practice dictates that the company shall always have a large reserve in cash. No one knows when a catastrophe or an epidemic may come, making thousands of families suddenly dependent the insurance comtianv must be alwavs prepared. But what of the rest the millions and millions which will not be need ed hv the policyholders for years? In ft. Paul's Cathedral in London there is a single slab marking the hiirial nlare of Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of the ereat edifice. Up on it is this inscription in Latin "If you would see his monument look about you." The same inscription might be written of the dollars which vou. and vou. and vou. have entrust ed to your insurance company as a rrntprJinn for the future. If you would see that dollar vou have only to look about you. It is not lying idle in some vault far away; it is invested and at work close at nana Dollars at Work. You pick up the telephone receiver and are connected with a tnena m another nart of vour city. It is a miracle that would amaze us more if it were not so common. Your insur ance dollar has helped to work that miracle. For the telephone system hs heen constructed bv the proceeds of telephone bonds and millions of dollars of insurance money are in vested in these and other utility bonds. You step into a train in New York eat dinner, go to bed, and wake up in Rnffalo. Another miracle and again the insurance dollar has helped. For the railroads could never have stret ched their tracks across the continent excent bv the sale of railroad bonds And the insurance companies are large investors in those bonds. Ymi pass a beautiful park or a fine public school they too are built by bonds municipal bonds an invest ment which is heavily owned Dy in surance companies. You pass a row of houses each the home of a family that is paying a few dollars a month and looking forward to the day when it ran call that home its own. Who furnished the money to erect this home, and took a mortgage as se rnritv? Verv likelv an insurance company another place where your dollarss are at work. Even on Farms. And farms here vour millions have been at work, also. Thousands upon thousands of acres have been niontrri huildinps have been improv ed and life made happier because your savings have been at wont in the shape of farm mortgage loans ,IVE LOCAL NEWS lfferson Evans was down from his home at alia W alia this week, visit ing with the family of his brother, Marion Evans on Willow creek.
