There are 31 gal lons to a barrel. Despite the 12 per cent increase in consumption,?North?Carolina??till lags in consumption as compared with other states, according to the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee The per capita consumption in this state is not quite three gallons, while the nation's per capita consumption & twelve and a half gallons ? more than four times the per capita con sumption in North Carolina. Although North Carolina is way down the list on the basis of per capita consumption, the beer indus try pays the state and its various po litical subdivisions almost $1,500,000 annually in taxes and license fees. If this state consumed as much as the average for the nation, more than $6,000,000 would be paid into the state treasury annually. The past year also witnessed the rapid expansion of the beer indus try's program of active cooperation with local law enforcement officers to eliminate anti-social conditions wherever they may surround the sale of beer.

Admitted assets wefe increased by $-1,663,325.92 to $105,334,172.49. Insurance in force reached the all time high of $528,053,461, increase for the yeajLbeing. $27^12481? Such figures manifest, on the part of the public, a growing friendship for the company and an increasing confidence in its management , Certain old policy contracts were further liberalized Nearly 10,000 owners of weekly premium policies who attained age 75 had their policies paid up. This was made possible by the company's gratuitous action in setting aside a reserve fund of $300,000, thereby dispensing with payment of further premiums, and making applicable to old policies, as has frequently been done in the past, benefits beyond those promised Through their investment in bonds of the government, municipalities, utilities, and railroads, and securities of other sound enterprises, premiums paid to the company have become actively employed in the national economy, to the benefit of citizens throughout the Union In the administration of its affairs the company gives full-time employment to over 2,000 individuals whose earnings continually flow through the channels of trade in their various communities.
