In issuing a call tor a meeting of the 1 iiiklO.OtM) and thore policyholders of the Pindential Insurant*- Company of America, at wlii.-h time the proposed luutualimtii n of the Prudential will be voted on, President Forrest F". Dryden out- . lines some of the direct benefits which 1 he and his associates believe will follow. It is the first statement the Com- e | amy ha* made on inutualization shier v the project was started in January. 1913. The date for the policy ladders' feeting has been set for December 7. Every policyholder above the age of 21 years, J and whose policy lilt* been in force- at least one year, will be privileged fo either -attend the meeting and vote, or else send a proxy to be voted in his or her name. Former Chancellor William J. Magic, former Supreme Court Justice Bynnctt Van Svckcl. and Vice President John K. Gore have -been selected to rep- I resent the |>olicyhold<T& who are unable * to be present at the meeting. Among other thing* Mr. Dryden bad 1 this to say on mntualixation: "The plan of ir.utualixation was * adopted in the belief that it would inure to the' welfare of the Company ' and , 8 would result in substantial benefit to l it* -policyholder*. As the proceedings j have progress,*! we have become more | e firmly convinced of the correctness of|® these conclusions. V While the Com)mnv must maintain:8 an impartial position in connection with j the |M>licyliolders* meeting, it is nevertheless proper at this time to advise the'1* policyholders of the reasons which have : t actuated the management in instituting j ilic proceedings and carrying tliem to M t their present stage. "The mutualization of the Company will provide for the election of directors ! by the policyholders, which will insure d for all time a continuance of the uniform practice of The Prudential to ac.eord to its policyholders the greatest % degree of liberality commensurate with safety. J "When mutualization is effected, dls- ■} trilmtion of the surplus earning of tlie \ Company will include all its policyholders. both participating and non-partiei- i pating. While under the existing law ■ j lates the net cost to the present policy- 1 j, holders may not, at the outset, be | greatly reduced on account of mutual- ! p ization, nevertheless every dollar earn- e ed by a continuance of the sound and g economical conduct of Prudential affairs j will, from the very Beginning, be ered- i ( ited to the |>olicyliolders as the owners ( *| of the Company. j t "We believe that the substantial benefits to Is- gained through the acquire- !( incut by the policyholders of the stock j j at a price judicially ascertained to bej fair and reasonable will appeal forcibly to tlicin ami will induce them to give j j approval to the planr "We shall be gln.l to answer any «. I inquiries tiint may lie mailt- prior to the j j, meeting by any interested policy hold- j era." n After the legislature of New Jersey „ had passed an art early in 1913 enabling : the Company to mutualize the main / problem present!*! was an accurate a*- . d certainment of the value of the eaptial | stock of the Prudential. This was fi- e nally done by appraisement, the ap- C p raisers being Former United States a . Senator Ja*. Smith. Jr.. former Gover- 1 nor John Franklin Fort and former Assistant Postmaster General William M n Johnson, who wen- appointed by Chan- t I editor Walker of New Jersey. The jn- 1 l tercsts of the policyholders in this pro- J iJi-ccdings were looked after by former e United States Attorney-General John j W. Grigg* and Meritt Lane, of Jersey j fi City. After a long and careful delib- t eration the value of each Prudential ! a share having n par value of $50 was | ( fixi*l at $455. and at a recent meeting;! of the stockholders of the Company, at- I a . tended by seventy-seven per cent of the j share-holders, this price was approved I without a dissenting vote. The meeting jt of the policyholders is the next step. 1 1 PARKER'S i HAIR BALSAM FoeUcitorinr Color **d Bca-'rtciGr*-*er F-J*d Hair ^ 1 NO FRUIT WITHOUT BEES If there wore no bees, fruit trees anil ; other plants could not produce any | fruit.
