A WESTERN COMPANY FOR WESTERN PEOPLE
Whose Symmetrical Growth Makes Possible This Pyramid of Progress
TO POLICYHOLDERS: NINETEEN-FOURTEEN was
the biggest and best year in the entire history of the company, not
withstanding the world-wide disturbances. 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.
