Mr.. EDIToR.-In coming among you a
the representative of the Piedmont anC
Arlington Life Insurance Company, [ trusl
L may be permitted to say a word to the
people Of Mississippi in its behalf The
interests protected by Life Insurance will
always commend 1t powerfully - tiae mas
of rejecting people.
As long as men are posed to signal tall
ures in accumulating their fortunes" sc
long will they look in this direction TO Sc
cure handsome competence to their wild
ows and children by the annual payment
of amounts so small as to be reached by ev-
cry frugal and thrifty person. The neces-
sity, or rather the duty, of insurance has
become a fact so fixed ia the minds of the
community, as to obviate the necessity OF
an appeal by way of argument.
The question now in agitation is why
should patronize one company rather than
another? And it is to satisfy this most
pralseworthy inquiry that we desire TO
make the following statements with regard
to the Piedmont and Arlington:
LIST. We are as STABLE AND SOLVENT as
any company in the United States. All OBJ
legations contracted by us will be as GER
tainly and promptly liquidated as that men
live or die. No man can ask anything more.
End. We are cautious in the selection of
risks, liberal In our plans treatment OF
the insured, and severely economical in the
management OF our finances. The Super
intendent of Massachusetts in his report,
says? THE rock toward which some of
our companies are inevitably drifting, is
KxTRAyAGANcE, we wait hopefully for the
day when economy will be the shiboleth of
success"
3d. Taking into consideration our age. our
dividends are equal to any company in the
United States. If those gentlemen who
have been insured in other companies for
two or three years with no dividends yet,
will only call on Capt. Jno. T. Buck, of this
n l. -
they appear on renewal receipts, they will
be astonished.
We are paying from 10 to Is per cent. on
the first years premium.
4th. Our capital and accommodations run
up to $2.OOOO0O and the number of policies
issued, over $4,000, showing an increase and
substantial progress in business almost be-
yond precedent.
5th. We have no magnificent marble
palaces in New York, or any other Eastern
city, to demonstrate the fact that money has
been drawn from Mississippi, to beautify
and adorn distant and hostile sections.
9th. Our object is to build up the materi-
eli interests of the South and not keep up
and carry on the work of depletion and de-
preston. Men feel q terrible monetary
presence now, because the twelve hundred
million Of dollars for which the cotton crops
has been sold since the war, has been drained
out Of the country. I'VE are poor but
make many rich" The President has
given us permission to establish q branch
Office in Mississippi, and this win be done as
soon as the requisite number of policy hold
ers can be obtained and then every dollar of
surplus money win be lent to the citizens of
the State. Ths State of New York prohib-
It's her companies from investing one cent
outside ofthe State, except for Z. s. bonds.
Men who patronize the New York and Con-
companies, know where the mon
ev goes or rather where it stays. Much
might be said Mr.. Editor, but this will suf-
fee to direct the minds of thoughtful men
towards us in casting about for a company
in which 70 insure.
JOHN w. MOSELEY,
General Agent of Mississippi.
