Standard Life

In early December 1923 in Memphis, Tennessee, Minnie Geddings Cox sat in a hastily arranged board meeting across from Heman Perry, clear now that the man she had believed her advocate was most assuredly her adversary. Cox and Perry, a man Forbes magazine would describe in 1924 as the richest Negro in the world, spent nearly a year maneuvering a merger to join her company, Mississippi Life Insurance Company, the third largest black-owned life insurance company in the United States, with his Standard Life of Atlanta, which ranked second.1 They shared a vision to create the largest black-owned life insurance company in the United States—or so Cox thought.

First Time

It is now almost seventy years since Sheppard Homans, then actuary of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, described in a paper presented to the Institute (J.I.A. Vol. XI, p. 121) a new method of surplus distribution, devised by himself and D. P. Fackler. The new method was one which had been applied by them for the first time in the surplus distribution of the Mutual Life in 1863. That method, known as the Contribution Plan, has since been universally adopted in the United States and Canada and is thus the method of surplus distribution which is and for many years has been applicable to the larger part of the life insurance in force throughout the world. The method was not received with favour by British actuaries nor, except possibly in isolated cases, has it ever been applied in Great Britain. The methods of T. B. Sprague and T. G. C. Browne, while frequently referred to as “contribution” methods, are of a different character from Homans’ method and differ from it radically both in principle and in practical application.

History Of

The history of Supreme Life Insurance Company, now the third largest black insurance firm in the United States, is representative of its industry as a whole. In this first study of an individual Negro life insurance firm, Professor Puth suggests that Supreme Life may also serve as a barometer of future trends as black firms compete with larger white companies now being drawn into the formerly segregated market by falling mortality rates and rising incomes among Negroes.
