A nfw Kales record for the Sun Lite 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 Com pany's 85th Annual Meeting. New life insurance sold In 1955 amounted to S761 million, an increase of S65 million over the previous year. Much of this new insurance was purchased in the United States where the Sun Life has 37 of its business in force. Included in the new bus iness figure was J214 million of group insurance, exceeding the high level of production of the previous year. Total Sun Life insurance in force now ex ceeds SS'i billion. Dividend scales are being increased, and in 1958 the Company will pay to its policyholders dividends amounting to approximately J28 million. The report also reveals that 143 million was paid to benefi ciaries of deceased policyhold ers, and SM million paid to living policyholders and annuit ants. The $136 million paid in 1955 brings the total paid by the Company since Its organiz ation to S3 billion. Mr. Bourke pointed out that the record cunsnucUon of new homes in the United States and Canada has been financed to a great extent out of the prem iums paid by policyholders to life insurance companies. Mort gage loans made by the Sun Life during 1955 amounted to $108,502,000 bringing- the Com pany's total mortgage invest ment to $399,968,000. In hts report, Mr. Bourke ex pressed the belief that the high levels attained in the insurance business would be exceeded in 1956, and that lne insurance ownership would rise to a new peak. "The public trust which the 8un Life enjoys today." he declared, "is based not only on confidence in the Company, but alto on the sound principles on which the industry at large is built. There is every reason for us to look ahead to continued public trust and to further suc cess and achievement.". A copy of Sun Life's complete 1955 Annual report, Including the President's review of the year, is being ent to each pol icyholder, or may be obtained from Earl Sheridan 5043 Miller Ave. Klamath Falls Oregon. nooaoAflOAfloonnnnnnnnAn a I F U L t . 111 WSBBSSSSS m U H.-ES ttittS- IN STEEL All Types and Sizes CORRUGATED SHEETS - We Have it All in Stock!
