Pj -p ,
IN 1947 Jefferson Standard served a greater number of policyholders than ever before and made substantial gains in
volume of new business and financial strength. This achievement is high tribute to the loyal group of field represents'
tives whose skilled services made this record possible. Through their efforts the comforting protection of life insurance
was brought to additional thousands of families during the year.
Today's high income taxes and low returns on investments have intensified the problem of estate creation and
conservation, thus causing the American people to value more than ever the security and personal satisfaction which
life insurance affords. In 1947 FOUR OUT OF FIVE families enjoyed the protection of life insurance; Jefferson
Standard provides more than $745 million of this protection.
