American Agriculturist, OctoberWL .923 
Congressional Mention of the 
Postal Life insurance Company 
Senators Smoot, Norris and Overman were discussing War Risk Insurance on 
the floor of the United States Senate, and the best way to reach the boys who 
had allowed their policies to lapse, so as to arrange for their reinstatement. 
From the Congressional Record of Jan. IUh , 1920, the following extract is taken : 
Senator Overman: “Could uot that be done by circularizing the 
soldiers ?” 
Senator Norris : “ I think that would help a great deal.” 
Senator Overman : “I was once in'sured in a company, which I think is 
one of the most successful companies in the world—and the reason 
the Senator’s bill commends itself to me so strongly is because of 
the plan proposed for collecting the premiums—which can and 
does write insurance because they have no agents. They do it all 
by printed matter. It is a very strong company and is conducting 
a great business in this country. It is known as the Postal .Life 
Insurance Company.” 
Mr. Overman matured a policy in the Postal and the Company earned 
his good will. It is good will and good words that have built it up and that 
are the great dependable sources of future business. 
With resources of more than $10,000,000; with $43,000,000 of insurance 
in force; with net low cost to policyholders and with its Health Bureau 
benefits, the Postal is indeed the Company of 
Safety, Saving and Service 
The Health Bureau issues periodical bulletins on health-conservation and 
disease-prevention and policyholders have the privilege of one free medical 
examination each year, thus making it possible to detect incipient disease m 
time to check or cure it. 
Lastly, the cost of insurance is low because Postal policyholders receive the 
benefit of the commissions that other companies pay their agents.
