The foregoing figures emphasize its extraordinary growth, under its present management, during the past ten years. Its large percentages of . increase in 'as sets, surplus, outstanding insurance and in the confidence of dis criminating patrons is best illustrated by the Pyramid of Progress. GOVERNMENT DEPOSIT: Every policy is secured by Guaranty Fund deposited with the State of Missouri of over $3,500,000.00 the largest of any Missouri company and $450. 000.00 In excess of NET liability to policyhold ers. Our patrons thus enjoy absolute security. Less than 2 V4 per cent of income last year was paid for all home office salaries. The com pany has been repeatedly commended in official reports for prompt payment of death claims and economical management. There was a NET in crease in premium and interest actually received last year of $427, 341. S6 over 1913. There is approximately 4 0,000 polities iu force, Insuring $65,803,227.00. Insurance out standing has doubled during the last three years. There was paid to living policyholders last year $402.499.74 one-fifth cf total premium Income and to beneficiaries of those who died, $266,572.90. Living policyholders received In dividends, reducing cost or Insurance, maturi ties, etc., $130,500.00 more tlinn the total death claims. These figures emphasize the liberality of this company to policyholders. More than NINETY PER CENT of the com pany's funds are invested in policy loans and first mortgages on real estate which are not affected by the depression In value of stock market investments. Karm mortgages yield a satisfactory interest and, with constantly In creasing land values, constitute an ideal form for the investment of insurance funds. The company's buniness is limited to the in terior section of the United Slates, where living conditions are favorable to long life. Mortality for the year was most favorable the average losses during the past ten years have been less then 50 per. cent probably the lowest of any American company. Economical management, substantial interest earnings and low death rate enables the Kansas City Life to furnish depend able protection at the lowest NET cost. I'pon policies which became claims last year, there had been paid in total premiums, $43, 523.00. The estates of the insured received back every dollar of the money paid In prem iums and $223,049.69 in excess of that amount or a profit of over 500 per cent on the invest ment. Combining as it does, protection and in vestment, insurance on the old-line plan has superlative merit and In fact iloes pay. WhiUi the Nebraska Agency is one of the juniors in the Kansas City Life l'arn ilv, it submitted applications for new insurance to the company last year in tho amount of l,):if3r KMX). In the bread basket of the nation, comprising Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kan sas, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas, the Kansas City Life obtained a larger vol ume of new business last year than any American company. We have good openings in unoccupied territory for capable salesmen, and through our system of co-operation with field men previous experience is not neces sary for success. We can afford to pay liberal commissions to honest and ener getic underwriters, because we lose no money in making advances to men who fail to succeed. Kansas City Life policies are liberal to the injured; so they are easy to sell. If you are ambitious to increase your income, you should get details of our lib eral proposition to reliable agents.
