ARLINGTON LIFE
COMPANY.

1t advises the payment of all cash premiums, be-
cause then 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 third loan on participating Policies. Parties
who fail to pay all cash premiums will please re-
member their cash payments are not likely to de-
crease, and that interest is to be paid annually on
all loans not absorbed by dividends.
1t requires no notes for loans OF the part OF pre-.
miums, but endorses the loan on Its policies until
absorbed by-dividends, or policy is payable.
1t has no restriction on residence or travel. ALI
policies are non. forfeitable and the right OF par.
ties guaranteed on 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 past payment forfeited. This Com
pany guards against this in her policies, and IN
event of separation from its Office by any nterven-
tion guarantees to such all the right of non-fortei'
ture, paid up policy, surrender value and reinstate'
ment, as though there had been such intervening
cause.
Its investments are made for benefit of SOUTH
ERN ADVANCEMENT.
1t brings money to our people-keeps money with
our people Then why should they continue to
empoverish themselves by sending money Oft which
can as easily, as safely, as prohtably be spent at
home? -
The PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON asks all
who wish to insure to compare its rates, terms, pro-
gress with any company, and feels confident its
merits will equal any other company.
