Their 1956 purchases were $12,- 479,000,000, under some 2,300,000 individual certificates. This was $3,146,000,000 more than the year before and $5,893,000,000 more than two years ago. In addition, nearly $5,000,000,000 of group life insurance wag added during 1956 due to increases in em ployee-employer groups already in sured. This brought total group life in surance in force at the start of this year to an estimated $119,000,- 000,000 under 36,000,000 individual certificates. Also a record figure, this aggregate of protection is more than the total life insurance of all kinds that was in force in 1940. The 1956 total is nearly $lB,- 000,000,000 more than in 1955. Now 100,000 Contracts There are now about. 100,000 groups contracts in force, three times the number at the end of World War 11. Today, over half of the nation’s work force is covered by group life insurance, with a certificate’ aver age of about $v,300. More than 60 per cent of all workers in civilian, non-agricultural establishments are ■overed. Group plans are now written on employee groups of as few as 10, and in some states even fewer, the minimum having dropped over the past 40 years from 50. This past vear saw the first widespread pur chase by groups of 10 to 25, as it was the first year these smaller groups were permitted under the laws of many states. They are now permissable in 32 states. Benefit payments under group life contracts have increased sharp ly in recent years. The death bene fit total in 1956 was about $625,- 000,000, up some $7.,000,000 in the year. These figures on group life in surance do not include the group credit life insurance written on bank borrowers and installment buyers through their lender offices. There is now’ some $15,000,000,000 of such insurance in force. The statistics on purchases do not in clude the group life insurance writ ten on Federal Government employ ees through 162 life companies by special Act of Congress in 1954. This large Federal group now cov ers about 2,100,000 employees for some $10,500,000,000. Real Stuff Barber—“ Would you like a bottle of my famous hair restorer, sir?
