Best Year in History "Our reports indicate that 1934 was the best year in the history of the Jefferson Standard," re marked Mr. Price. He referred to the fact that the company's oper ations are principally in states in the south and southwest, and said, "Our territory is admittedly the favored spot of the nation and we have every reason to expect great er and more profitable accom plishments iu 1835." Last year the Jefferson Stand ard continued in the mortgage loan field, making many excellent loans on high class city and resi dential property. The company's real estate holdings are less than in 1933, however, as much fore closed property was disposed of with praeticajly no logs, Mr. Price stated. "The special reserve fund which has been set up to take care 01 de preciation on real estate and in vestment fluctuations has been in creased to $l,000,000,'i' he said. '"Unassjgned surplus has been in creased to_$l,825,000." His statement continues signifi cantly: "All of these very favor able factors enable us to continue our payment of 5 per cent interest 011 funds held in trusttfor policy holders and beneficiaries. In nifrtft taining an interest rate of 5 per cent, we are holding intact an un broken record which began when the Jefferson Standard was organ ized in 1907." Mr. Price pointed out that pay ments to policyholders and bene ficiaries in 1934 amounted to $7, 078,072. "During the past five years life insurance proved to be the backlog in the economic life of our people. In this period the Jefferson Standard paid to Its pol icyholders and beneficiaries more than $40,000,000, thus stabilizing and safeguarding the affairs of those who had wisely provided for the emergency. The total pay ments made to policyholders and beneficiaries since the company was organized amount to $81, 368,758." The president's statement re ported a 28 per cent increase in the sale of new insur&nce ih 1934 as comparetf with 1933. The total amount of insurance sold was $46,666,600. ' "This splendid vol ume of new business, with a great ly improved renewal record, gave us an increase in insurance in force, the total amount in force now being $314,834,797." Surplus and special reserve funds totaling $4,285,000 have been set aside for the additional protection of policyholders. ' Assets of the company increas ed more than $2,365,000 in 1934, during which year the mortality rate was only 54 per cent of the expected. Interest earned on the total invested assets In 1934 was 5.5 per cent.
