HIS YEAR, in making • its Annual Report to . 31,000,000' policyholders, ]Metropolitan decided to try soinegatit new. We asked '-Bruce- Barton, a 'policyholder; and a _ well known writer, if he would .write the report. He agreed. So he visited ,our Home Office, asked a host of questions, lookedinto the facts and .figures. Accord- 'ing to his report, the things he°• learned about the Company confirm what the Examiners—of the State Insurance Department found. ' Following their : most recent` official examination of the Company they had stated ”From . , this ' �!� examination, becomes evident that: the r Company is in strong financial condition, that its affairs are .ably managed, and t at the business of the Company ns 'be.ng..operated in theinterests of 'its policyholders." One out of every five persons 1n Canada and the United States is •a ,Metropolitan "policyholder. If, like Mr. Barton, you are one of this group, you'll -be more than interested in the thins he learned. Even if you're not a policyholder,' you cannot help but enjoy reading Mr. 'Barton's account of what Metro- politan did in 1944 for the benefit of -policyholders • and: public;: If you'd - like . a . copy of this, Annual Report to.
