LIE lNSURANCE.--The Piedmont Life In
surance Company has declared dividend offor-i
aiiIfn loio hcr
two annual premiums and the same is available
on such policies at next renewal to absorb loans
or reduce cash payments
inns valuation of policies and dividends was
made by that eminent and experienced actuary
u. T. Facker-hence, demonstrates beyond
doubt, the solid success of this growing company
The dividend could have safely been larger,
put with the prudence and caution which has ev-
er guided this company, it has doomed it proper
to hold Il surplus beyond the reserved fund. -
The company is now only in the eighteenth
month of It's active operation-yet has issued
35Oou policies which is success really remarka-
Die, and far ahead Of any company of like period
IN America or Europe; while its handsome divi-
dend shows the economy Of its administration,
and the undoubted permanency of its success.
the success of this Southern Company being
now beyond questiOn-the economy of manage
ment proved by large dividend, and its trusty
ana competent directors giving assurance Oft
future solvency and progress-there can surely
pc no possible excuse tojustfy Southern man
% NJ
for life Insurance.
No company is more solvent; no company has
progressed so rapidly; company has mon G lib
eral terms; no company is managed with more
prudence and economy-in short, the Piedmont
Is equal to any and surpassed by none, therefore,
we advise all to examine the merits of this
Southern tayorite before insuring and we feel
confident they will prefer the Piedmont before
any other.
