Since beginning business in 1845, it has paid to policyholders and beneficiaries over $6,000,000,000. As it completes its first century, the Company baa in force its greatest amount of life insurance. Our centennial, while significant in the history of the Com pany, comes at an especially significant time in the history of the nation. The war, with the additional duties and respon sibilities it imposes upon all of us, has been a primary influ ence affecting the Company as an institution and also the officers, agents and employees individually. More than 1,970 members of the New York Life organization are now serving in the armed forces. Twenty-two have already lost their lives in the service of their country Although there have been five wars during the 100 years since 1845, the past century has been a period of great devel opment for the country. Through all those years, the New York Life has played its part in the nation's social and eco nomic growth. A the Company emerges from Its first cen tury, it reaffirms its faith in the stability ol our fundamental American institutions. Foremost of these institutions Is the family. With It goes the family's freedom to participate in the nation's progress towards a better civilization, and the right to protect the fruits of hard work and perseverance. In America and Canada, where we live, this freedom to participate, and the right to protect, is assured by our representative form of government. It has enabled us to attain our present high standards of living and family security. But while our form of government can assure this freedom of opportunity, it is the responsibility of the individual family to avail itself of that opportunity by constant effort and savings. Freedom of opportunity and in dividual effort must be inseparable if we wish to maintain security and insure progress. Under the circumstances, it is natural that life insurance as an institution should have had such a remarkable development and should have become so Increasingly important during the past one hundred years. Through life insurance, New York Life policyholders erect the fortifications of security for their families and for them selves. But not only do the funds of this Company improve and protect the financial position of the individual family; they are at the same time acting in the service of the country as a whole. Before life insurance funds go back from the Company to policyholders or beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the policy contracts, those funds become avail able for employment in the economic life of the people in the form of investments or loans. In normal years they help finance the pursuits of peace. In war years they help in win ning the war. Indeed, over 54 per cent of all the Company's assets are now invested in United States Government securi ties helping to finance the war. , The growth and development of the Company during the past half-century are illustrated by these interesting com parisons: Payments to Policy- 1894 1919 1944 . Holders ana Beneficiaries Number of Policies Outstanding Insurance in Force. , Assets.. ........... 115,665,003 $116,174,621 $182,029,816 277,600 1,456,194 3,292,584 $813,294,160 $3,127,920,086 $7,644,703,430 $162,011,770 $961,022,120 $3,570,738,940 Throughout the years, the Company has recognized that the confidence of its policyholders must be based on a strong . foundation of security. Prior to 1899 the Company assumed that it would earn in excess of 4 per cent on highest grade investments and it had been using a 4 per cent interest factor for life insurance premium calculations. However, in 1899, in view of decreased investment yields, the Company adopted a S per cent rate for new policies. This change added to an important element of safety behind the Company's future contracts. During the past year, because of the still lower yields which now prevail, the Company has again strengthened its reserve basis by changing its interest rate assumption for new policies from 3 per cent to Vx per cent. As we come to the end of our first century, we look back on a long life of service to the greatest of American institutions,' the family. And as we enter our second century, we look for ward to the opportunity in the years to come of even greater service to the family and the nation. President ASSETS Cadi on hand or In banks...
