That great favorite Southern Life Insu-
rance Company-the Piedmont d Ar
ington, of virginia-is still pushing
ahead of many other Life Insurance Com
panies; and not satisfied with its pros
porous ndproud success throughout the
entire South, has entered the Northern
and North Western States with a vim and
an indomitable energy that cannot fail to
win millions on top of millions of new
business. We glory in this deserved
prosperity of that grand monarch in Life
Insurance the Piedmont & Arlington
and feel assured that it will go right on
increasing in business and popularity
until it is conceded the position of lead
horse in Life Insurance throughout the
broad limits of the United States. We
don't profess to be a prophet, but mark
our prediction.
In glancing over a late number of the
Richmond (va.) Daily Dispatch we find
the following, and beg the readers care
full attention thereto:
STILL MOVING AHEAD.-The Piedmont
md Arlington Life Insurance Company
recently opened an agency in Columbus,
Ohio, and in less than week it has re-
ceived applications for policies for $S1 900,
with about 5000 premiums. It shows
how this Virginia enterprise is esteemed
for its remarkable solvency, caution, and
reliability, when it meets such hearty
patronage where people are alive to their,
own interests, and only placeG money
where it is safe.
/. Agencies will be speedily pressed for
ward in every northwestern State. With
in the past few weeks agents have been
arranged in all the States and Territories
west of the Rocky mountains, and in all
the States and Territories east Of this line
where the company was not before repre-
sented. 1t has arranged to enter New
York, and is treating with distinguished
and experienced agents for the New Eng
land States. Soon it will be at work over
the entire United States, and stand a
monument of that success which will
attend diligence and energy.
And then the Lexington Ky.) Daily
Press, like everybody else, has good
word in behalf Of the Piedmont q Ar
lington, and "talks right out'' in the fol-
lowing strain:
awe ask attertion to the annual state
ment of the Piedmont and Arlington
Life Insurance Company of Virginia,
which appears in this issue. 1t is hard
to conceive of greater thrift and more
rapid progress than is evidenced in the
extraordinary advance of this youthful
but already immense corporation. Since
its organization i'll 1867, over fourteen
thousand policies have been issued, and
it's assets and accumulations now amount
to the splendid total of two and half
millions of dollars. This is indeed u
progress. The President, Colonel VIM. c.
Darlington, is Virginian of rare culture,
and high attainment, with a reputation
for financial and executive ability, almost
national, and gathered around him as
co-workers in the great enterprise are
such men as John c. Breckenridge,
President of the Kentucky branch, Mau-
raw of Louisiana, Johnston of Alabama,
and others of well-known acknowledged
ability. The Company has just issued q
pamphlet Of twenty-five pages, giving
"fuli exhibit to the policy holders" of
its condition in 1871, which cannot fail to
impress all.who read it with the compre-
hensiveness of plan and judicious atten-
ton to detail, which marks the Compa-
ny's record"
AS is well known, that worthy gentle
man, Mr.. NJ. a. RANSOM, Of Augusta,
represents the aforementioned Compa.
nv in this section of Carolina.
