Who Is So Good For Relieving Miseries of Childrens Colds More than two generations ago—in grandmother's day—mothers first dis covered Vicks VapoRub. Today it is the most widely used home-remedy for relieving miseries of children’s colds. 4t\nd here is the reason ... 9 The moment you rub VapoRub on the throat, chest and back at bedtime it starts to work two ways at once— and keeps on working for hours—to ease coughing spasms, help clear con gestion in cold-clogged upper breath ing passages, relieve muscular soreness or tightness. It promotes restful sleep. Often most of the misery of the cold is gone by morningl That’s wlw VapoRub is so good to use when colds strike. Try it! ♦JEFFERSON STANDARD!

President Julian Price, in his annual message to those insured in the Com pany, points out several important facts relating to its service, growth and strong financial position. Facts in brief are given here. The detailed annual report booklet is available upon request. INTEREST EARNING MAINTAINED ■^■The gross rate of interest earned on invested assets for 1943 was 5.23%. Jefferson Standard maintains its national leadership in this field. INTEREST PAYMENT MAINTAINED •^■In 1943, as in every year since organization, 5% interest was paid on funds held in trust for policy holders and beneficiaries. ASSETS SHOW INCREASE Assets now total $128,246,325 — an increase of $13,230,309. For each $100 of liabilities there are $110.32 of assets indicating an unusually strong finan cial position. BENEFITS PAID The Company paid polky SURPLUS FUNDS INCREASED Surplus, capital and contingency reserves total * $12,000,000. This is $23.88 surplus for each $1000 insurance in force — an exceedingly high surplus ratio. SPLENDID INVESTMENT RECORD s^-Less than $25,000 interest is past due on Mortgoge Loan investments of $57,342,910. Only one-half million dollars is owned in foreclosed real estate. INSURANCE IN FORCE $6,305,910 in policy benefits during 1943. Total benefits paid since 1907 - $137,771,775. ■^•Jefferson Standard's 200,000 policyholders now own $502,533,041 life insurance. The Company has very proudly announced having over a half-billion dollars life insurance in force. This was a gain of $32,202,404 for the year. A POLICYHOLDER'S COMPANY The reputation of being "A Policyholder’s Company” is based upon 36 years of effort directed toward pro- " viding maximum benefits to meet the life insurance needs of policyholders and beneficiaries. The record of interest earned has established the Jefferson Standard as the national leader in this field. Continuous payment of 5% interest on funds payable under policy settlement options has been maintained since organization in 1907. Thus, policyholders and beneficiaries, who are receiving the benefit of 5% in terest payments, often make the statement “Jefferson Standard policy dollars ARE larger.” Let us give you a copy of our annual report booklet.
