In another column of the Journal Mr.
Brooks Marmon presents a concise and
comprehensive statement of the finan
cial status of the Mutual Life Insurance
Co. of New York, showing the growth
of this company since its inception six
ty-four years ago- In several issues of
the Journal during the past year, there
have been printed special telegrams to
Mr. Marmon from the general manager
of the company, congratulating him on
his success as a business producer, and
saying that his record ranked among
the first in the United States. Herto
fore we had concluded that it was Mr.
Marmon's genial and urbane smile that
acted as a magnet to attract business,
but after reading this financial exposi
sition, we are forced to believe that it
is the merits of the company as much as
Mr. Marmon's strong personality that
accounts for the good showing.
