TWENTY-FOUR MILLIONS IN TWELVE 
WEEKS—NEW PRUDENTIAL 
POLICY IS POPULAR 
'' I ^HE Prudential Insurance Company 
announces that twenty-four mil¬ 
lion dollars of Ordinary life insurance 
was issued during the first twelve weeks 
that the new low-cost policy of that 
Company was put on the market, de¬ 
monstrating the public welcome given 
the new policy. 
The Prudential states that in com¬ 
paring the rates of its new policy with 
the average rates of 102 other life insur¬ 
ance companies of the world, the rates 
on the Prudential’s new policy are the 
lowest, consistent with liberality and 
safety, offered by any company of corre¬ 
sponding size, importance and responsi¬ 
bility. 
The agents of the Prudential quote 
the following interesting statements, 
from policy-holders and others, as to the 
reasons for selecting the new policy of 
The Prudential: 
“You Prudential people have bested 
everything in life insurance;’’ “ My 
Prudential policy is the cheapest and 
best insurance I have;’’ “The Pruden¬ 
tial’s new policy gives me more for my 
money;’’ “Policy eliminates all ele¬ 
ments of uncertainty;’’ “New Pruden¬ 
tial policy beats any policy I have ex¬ 
amined;’’ “ Rates much lower than 
those charged by other companies; 
“Guarantees are better than estimates. 
I recommend The Prudential;’’ “Gives 
the public what they really demand;’’ 
“ Keeping the dividends in my pocket 
looks good to me;’’ “I buy the Pruden¬ 
tial policy because everything is guaran¬ 
teed;’’ “You have certainly eliminated 
competition;’’ “We have been looking 
for just this policy;’’ “The rates alone, 
backed by the name ‘Prudential,’ catch 
the public favor. ’’
