A new sales record for the Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada and a new dividend scale that will reduce the cost of insurance to policyholders for the 7th successive year have been announced .by George W. Bourke, President, at the Company's 85th An nual Meeting. New life in surance sold in 1955 amount ed to S761 million, an increase of $65 million over the pre vious year. Much of this new insurance was purchased in the United States where the Sun Life has 37 of its bus iness in force. Included in the new business figure was $244 million of. group insurance, exceeding the high, level of production : of the previous year. Total Sun Life insur ance in force now exceeds $6 billion.

"The public trust which the Sun Life enjoys today," he declared; 'is based not only on confidence in the Com pany, but also on' the sound principles on which the in dustry at large is built. There ; is every reason for us to look ahead to continued public trusts and to further success and ' achievement." .
