Insurance Companies Find Way To Success Difficult NEW YORK UPH Financial publications and analysts have de voted much space recently to the history of growth in various in surance stocks, and to the increas ing number of insurance com panies in the United States. These are not always success stories; the way of the small company is not easy, whatever field of insurance it may enter. For the new life insurance stock company, it usually takes about eight years to reach the dividend producing stage. Nearly 1.000 new life companies have been set up since IMS. Some start out as intra-state oper ations, and may gradually expand to regional or even national oper ations. Some have confined themselves Chapel Honored By Golden Rule to straight life operations; others have combined a life insurance operation with health and accident business to show a steady growth. The growth of a few has been sharp. Ohio Firm Booms Recently, the General Life In surance Co. of Ohio, which was established in April, 19B2, report cd it has placed in force over $130 million of insurance in about IB months.

Winston, its vice president for group sales, said that in the in- dustry, group life has shown the greatest increase in growth of new forms of insurance, from a total of $47.8 billion 1n 1950 to nearly $209 billion in 19fil. It was founded by three men who among them had sold an average of $10 million of life in surance annually: Salim E. Cara boolad, president; Winston, and Morton H. Franklin.

Bureau Launches Study On Selling Of Houses WASHINGTON IUPH - The Census Bureau is working on a new study which is expected to provide more up-to-date informa tion on the kinds of new homes that are being sold and the prices the customers arc paying. The bureau has been on tlie project since January. The feel ing is that it will lie at least four years before enough experi ence is gained to draw really meaningful conclusions. In the meantime the bureau has been releasing every month the data it has been able to gather. Some of it is interesting. The study concentrates on the sales of new one-family dwellings. It found during the first six months of this year that there was no definite trend in the num ber of sales. Line Was Inconsistent The line scorned to jump all over the chart up one month, down the next. It did show up strong during the spring months good house hunting weather but this is hardly a revelation. The statistics that got the ex perts a bit excited dealt with the median selling prices of homes during this period. The average home sold in January at $17,000. For some reason, this figure kept creeping upward until by June 10 average was $18,300.
