BANKS Wft-L CLOSE Saturday is Birthday Anniversary of Washington. As is the custom on a legal holiday, the banks of Charlotte will he closed ; Saturday, this being the birthday anni- j vereary of George Washington. A le-1 gal holiday rarely ever falls on Sat- j urday and when it does a great incon venience is caused the merchants, bus- j iness houses and manufacturing con- J cerns because of the fact that pay rolls 1 are generally forgotten.

The Company paid directly to policyholders and their benificiaries in death claims, endowments, dividends, annuties and surrender values $43,959,245.40 It added to the net reserves held ia trust for policyholders 16,368,679.39 Total benefits from sources named $60 3? 7 924 79 lotai received rrom policyholders z.. 57,151,041.71 The total benefits above named exceeded premiums received by $ 3,176,883.08 The amount paid DIRECTLY TO POLICYHOLDERS during the year was 77 per cent, of the amounts received from them. The total amount paid to policyholders, plus the increase in the net reserve held for them, was over 105 per cent, of the amounts received from them. Increasing Dividends The amount appropriated for dividends to be paid in 1908 is $ 8,31 1,002.02 This sum greatly exceeds the largest amount ever before paid in dividends in a single year by any company. The annual dividends to be paid in 1908 show a ratio of increase over those of 1907 such as can be approximated by no other com pany. The Mutual Life is the only company which has increased its dividend scale three years in succession 1906, 1907, 1908. Increasing dividends are possible because of increasing earnings and decreasing expenses. 4 In Gains for Policyholders the Company Remains in tha Front Rank Its gross earnings from interest and rentals for 1907 were $23,103,953.59 Its gains from loading, mortality, surrenders and annuities were 8,760,440.79 The total earnings and gains were $31,864,394.38 0 This is over 56 per cent, of the entire premium income, a remarkable showing rarely, if ever, equaled by any other company. In Economy of ftegemfnt iha Company stands Pra-eminent The total expenses incurred in 1907 were $ 8,554,375.11 Compared with 1 906, this was a decrease of 2,03 1 ,6 1 8. 1 3 . The Financial Condition of the Company Is Siprb Its investments are of the highest class unimpeached and unimpeachable. In a year of extraordinary financial depression, not a share of stock owded by the Com pany failed to pay its regular dividend and on $222,927,910.60 of bonds (book value) there was not a dollar of interest in default at the close of business on the 3 1 st of last December. With assets exceeding its legal liabilities by over $57,000,000, even by the abnormally low market quotations of December 31,1 907, an excess greater by many millions than is held by any similar "organization anywhere, the Mutual Life, the Oldest Company in America, is also justly designated the Strongest in the World.
