INSURANCE COMPANY

OF

TORONTO, CANADA

ESTABLISHED 1900.

STONE & COX (Leading Canadian Insurance Authority)

The Crown Life is in a strong financial position and safe for any amount of Insurance which it will accept. The Assets of the Company are conserva- tively valued and in excellent condition. The average rate of interest earned over all ledger Assets over a period of twenty years is about 6.5%, which is an extremely satisfactory rate, having regard to the class of the investments. Although the Company's business has been expanding rapidly, the expense ratio has been moderate, and the Company has always experienced a very

favourable rate of mortality.
