This Company has met with success beyond all
parallel in Life Insurance. and offers to the South
ern public Home Enterprise equal to any and sur
passed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. l, 1867.
Assets 1st January 1886, 000 now much increased.
Policies issued in l6 months 2,053, covering risks
of $7,OOO,OOO.
1t has paid for losses of So, 1OO and in every in
stance waived the ninety days time and paid at
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause their dividends will continually decrease each
next payment until nothing will be required and the
policy may be source of income; but it will allow
one half loan on life and joint life policies One.
third loan on other participating policies.
1t requires notes for loans of the part of pre-
miums but endorses the loan of its policies until
absorbed by-dividends is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel. All
its policies are non forfeitable and the right of par
ties guaranteed the face Of the policy, as part OF
the contract.
1t has the following valuable feature which no
other company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office by
having their part payment forfeited. "The Pied
mont" guards against this in her policies, and in
event of separation from its Office by any interven-
ton, guarantees to such all the right of non-forei
ture, paid up policy, surrender value and reinsate
ment, as though there had been no such intervening
cause.
Its investments are made for benefit of Southern
advancement
1t brings money to our peope-keeps money with
our people. Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money off which
can as easily as safely, as probably be spent at
home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to COM
pare its rates, terms, progress with any company,
and feels confident its merits will equal any other
company.
1t has not been in progress long enough to declare
dividend, but its policies are now being valued.
Its dividend will begin 1st May next, and it feels
confident it will equal any company in like period,
and be satisfactory to its patrons.
