The INSURANCE BUSINESS During the
past year or two the insurance business
has greatly increased in Memphis, and
we now boast of some of the finest foreign
and home companies in the country
Prominent among the latter is the
Peoples Insurance Company of Mem
phis, organized during the past year. It's
office is No. 20 Madison; and though but
few months old, it has obtained a reputa-
ton for fair dealing and prompt pay
ment Of losses second to no similar or
ganization in the country, The fact
that Mr.. w. B. Greenlaw is president is
sufficient to settle the question of the
solidity in a pecuniary point
of view; while the presence of Mr. S. P.
Read, the secretary, is sufficient guar
anty that applicants for policies will come
in contact with first class business man,
and courteous, agreeable gentleman.
The directory embraces some of the best
names in Memphis A large
advertisement elsewhere gives list of
the officers and directors, and furnishes
other information especially interesting
to those DESTROYS of fire, marine or hull
insurance.
