COMPARISON OF PROGRESS
OF THE FOLLOWING
Successful Northern Companies
WITH THE
PIEDMONT & ARLINGTON.

TIE success of this Southern Company is
therefore ahead of any now in existence. and
it's rapid progress has placed it in the front
rank Of Life Insurance Companies.
If the above good Companies have succeed
cd on 90 nuch ,rorsc start is it not absurd to
doubt the greater and more certain success
of the Piedmont and Arlington on so much
better start
