A
YEAR
of
most
gratifying
results
was
reported
to,
the
policyholders
of
The
Mutual
Life
Assurance
Company
of
Canada
at
their
55th
Annual
Meeting
on
February
5th.
In
eyery
phase
of
its
business,
the
.growth
of
Canada's
pioneer
Mutual
Life
Company
was
eminently
satisfactory
during
1924.
The
real
test
of
a
life
insurance
company
operating
on
the
participating
plan
is
its
surplus
earnings
from
year'to
year.
It
is,
therefore,
of
supreme
interest
to
our
policyholders
who
alone
constitute
the
company
that
the
1924
surplus
earnings
reached
the
record
total
of
$3,500,258.
Increased
Distribution
to
Policyholders
During
the

yjar
an
increased
distribution
was
made
to

of

In
1923,
a
total
of

This
sum
is
most
signifi-cant
when
it
is
realized
that
it
meant
a

Healthy

During
the
year
a
total
of
$43,324,297
of
new

was
written,
representing
an
increase
of
$4,283,179

a

The

Exceptional

Three
effective
factors
contributed
to
the
exceptionally
high
surplus

for

These
factors
were
economy
in
administration,
remarkably
favorable
mortality
and
high

rate
on
invested
assets.
Despite
the
fact
that
the
new

ex-ceeded
that
of

by
