DR.. Isaac Branch, 4dJeriue C. H.. S. C-DEAn
SIR Allow me to express 10 you my apprecative
thanks for your courtesy and kindness, and
through you 10 the Piedmont Insurance Company
of Richmond, Va, for their promp. payment to
my sister. Mrs. N. G.. Evans of Life Policy Of
Gen. n. G. Evans, for the benefit of his wife and
children.
Being personally acquainted with many of the
gentlemen at The heau of the Company, and cog
infant Of the judicious management Of its affairs,
take great pleasure in commenting the Piedmont
Life Insurance Company to the people of the
South. Composed of gentlemen in Virginia of the
highest integrity, that alone ought TO be suf6-
cicnt guarantee TO the public.
No one, trust, of the many who received the
generous hospitality and untiring kindness of the
good people of Virginia in the late struggle. can
be recrean to the highest feelings of humanity as
to forget her people ignore the enterprise Of
her sons. or fail to give preference to this over
Northern companies.
/ regard the Piedmont Insurance Company as
perfectly reliable, and more reasonable in its terms
Of insurance than any other, North or South. and
as such recommend it with pleasure 10 all who may
desire to insure their lives. Very respectfully.
your obcdicn servant, NJ W. GARY
A RELIABLE CoMPANr.-One objection that some
persons raise against insurng either life or prop
erty, is 4 fear of being swndcd-is want oil
confidence in tie reliability Of Insurance compa-
nics And, indeed, the world is sometimes mpo.
sed upon in this very matter Only short lime
ago. Il company Of scoundrels calling themselves
by some popular name, insured property in Geor-
gia, Tennessee, &c., to large amount-that is,
they 60; the premiums and gave out certificates,
and then dccampcd. 1t was complete swindle
= \
now in Northern jails.
But all Insurance companies are not swindlers.
Indeed, we suppose that very few are. The Pied.
mont. of Virginia, we know is not; is composed
of The best men in the Old Domnion-is repre-
sened in cur section by some of the best neil in
South Carolina, and has proved that it is able and
willing 10 do all that it promises. occurred
recently within our own knowledge, which proves
beyond cavil
1st That it is eminently wise and prudent to
insure our lives when our families nre dependent
upon our personal efforts for n support.
I'd. That it is never too soon to insurc-.hat de-
lays are dangerous. I'VE know not what day
may bring forth"
Sd The Piedmont Life Insurance Company is
good and safe company.
We refer TO the case of General Evans, above
mentioned. What would have become of his fam
lily, if he had not insured his life? Suppose he
had ostponed insuring for few months, what
would have been the consequence? But he did
insure, and in the Piedmont company. In few
months afterwards he died; and in very short
time thereafter, before the terms of the contract
required it, the Policy was paid over by the excel
lent agent at Abbevi!le. DR.. Branch, and thus the
bereaved widow and her little ones are saved from
want. Try the Piedmont:--Due Vest Is. C) As-
sociate Reformed Presbyterian.
AS agent of the Piedmont Life Insurance Gem
pany, | would simply state that but THREE deaths
have occurred among the Policy holders since its
organization, showing the great care and vigilance
exercised by its officers in receiving applicants.
One of these was paid within two days after death,
the second as soon as proof was made, and the
third. Gen. N. g. Evans, within two days after ne
cessary information was furnished. The Compa-
ny, within fourteen months, has issued sixteen
hundred Policies, issued six millions of dollars
worth Of policies and received an income of three
hundred thousand dollars. We challenge the
world TO produce as large success.
