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. It has found its great
est success in the group life field,
in which it has specialized. Daniel
S. 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.
A smaller company, but with
a sharp rate of growth, has been

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.
