ami as a director of the company. A iiotal)le instance of how al)iUty and hard work 

 will draix success from the verv jaws of failure was the c-oiitinuance of the Canada 

 Life's Michigan lirani-h i>ven after tlie nianaii-enient of the company liad ])ractically 

 decided to close it. liealiziny' that retirement from Michigan would he a backward 

 step, which would l)e injurious to the company's organization f;enerally. ^[r. (leoroe 

 .v. Cox persuaded the management to give the direction of the company's affairs in 

 that state to the Eastern Ontario hranch. It can he imagined that the work was one 

 cailiuir for couraiic, perseverance and great ahilitv in administration. Mr. E. ^^ . Cox 

 hrouiiht those (jualities to hear upon the ])rohlems l)efore him. The result is that the 

 Canada Life has to-day a fine and growing Inisiness in ^lichigan, which is still manageil 

 under the Eastern Ontario agency. 



In IS!)!), while Mr. A. (;. Ramsay was still President of the Canada Life. ^Ir. 

 E. W. Cox was called to tlu- general service of the company, heing given the im])ortant 

 position of Assistant General ALinager. Three years later he was promoted to the Gen- 

 eral Managership, which jiosition he has held ever since. 



Before Mr. Cox hecame General Manager, the present organization of the com- 

 panv had l)een effected, with Hon. George A. Cox as President, and with the head 

 office in Toronto. Lnder Mr. E. W. Cox's management the com])any enjoys the 

 most prosjHM'ous days in its splendid hi.story. It has extended its oj)crations to New 

 York and to I'enn.sylvania. and also in 1!)();5— to (ircat Britain. In all these import- 

 ant (icKLs its Itusiness is well cai'cd for and is steadily increasing. Throughout the 

 home field the organization has Ijcen extended on every side, and strengthened in every 

 wav. .so that tlie great volume of business which the company c-an handle can be rolletl 

 up with uid'ailing certainty every year. 



Thoutrh he has oiven to the Canada Life Assurance Com|)anv a loval and di'voted 

 .service. Mr. Cox has not withheld his influence and ability from the ])romotion and 

 working out of other useful business enterprises. He is a director of the Central Can- 

 ada Loan and Savings Company, of the National Trust Company, and of the British 

 Aniei'ica .\ssnrance (Ompany. 



No little part of Mr ('ox's marked success in liusiness is due to his qualities as a 

 man. He has. prol)al)ly. as wide a circle of friends and well-wishers as any other young 

 business man in ("anada. The habit of success has left him uns|)oiled even for the 

 company of those who ha\'e not won such prizes in the race of life as he has won. 



While Mr. Cox has not taken as active an interest in the horse world as his 

 brother, he has always kept in his .stal)le a fine pair for his family, showing them 

 occasionally at the Toronto Shows. A fast driver for privat(> use denumstrates that 

 Mr. Cox delights in and loves a good hor.se.
