Bruce Barton,•notsd author and
Metropolitan' Policyholder.
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.
Policyholders, send ' in the little ; coupon below. It's
yours for the asking.
