| TEXT | In this intelligent age the necessity of insuring one's life is no longer a debatable question. It is now recognized as a sacred duty, and those who neglect its performance wrong those nearest and dearest to them, and are deserving of censure. Granted that every man and the members of his family should be insured. A matter of equally grave importance is the necessity of selecting a good company, and one in every respect worthy of public confidence. Such a company is the justly popular "John Hancock Life Insurance Company" of Boston, Mass. It devotes special attention to the insurance of those who depend upon a moderate income, enabling families of limited means to provide, by means of easy and convenient weekly payments, for the contingencies not only of death and burial, but an additional safeguard for those left behind. Chartered in Massachusetts, this company, under wise and conservative management, has had a wonderfully prosperous career, and now has branch offices in nearly every State in the Union, with full staffs of agents and collectors in the large cities. It promptly paid to policy holders from 1864 to 1882 the enormous sum of five million eight hundred and seventeen thousand nine hundred and sixty-six dollars and sixty-two cents, and is one of the strongest and best managed of any in existence. Its system of prudential insurance is the best and most liberal ever devised, and an important fact to note is that all its policies are an immediate benefit. It does not require people to pay for three months before giving any insurance, but on the contrary all claims are paid within twenty-f our hours after proofs of death are received and found correct. It has no unpaid claims outstanding, and has over two and a-half million dollars now invested to pay claims as they mature. These are in brief the plain facts in regard to this company, and such facts are telling. Here in New York the company has received an enormous patronage, under the able and indefatigable supervision of Mr. George W. Smith, the manager, and Mr. Fred Dodsworth, the superintendent. Mr. Dodsworth is a native of England, long a resident of the United States, and is practically conversant with every detail of the life insurance business. He is the company's New York superintendent, and has held this responsible position for about five years past, faithfully discharging the onerous duties devolving upon them, and giving the public, through his trained staff of agents, every facility and opportunity to obtain life insurance on the best and easiest terms ever offered. His fine executive abilities have enabled him to systematically organize a canvas of the metropolis and suburbs, and with trained and industrious agents the superior advantages of insuring in the John Hancock have been brought to the attention of a large portion of our population, and with the most satisfactory and cheering ot results alike creditable to the company and beneficial to the citizens of New York. Personally, Mr. Dodsworth is very popular, and is deservedly held in the highest esteem as an efficient and upright officer. |
