THE PIEDMONT AND ARL1NGToN.-The Spectator.
the leading insurance Journal of New York says:
The Piedmont and Arlington Life is entitled
to the credit of having reached position, as
respects business, quite exceptional, in view of
so recent re-ore anigation. On December 81
the number of policies in force was 1893, insur-
ing S26, zoos, 1851, and averaging 1882 EACH
During 1871 there were issued 2,22s policies,
covering IS, 776, l3O, and the premium receipts
of the year were $l,a5c,7e 1t is worthy Of
note that this volume of premium income was
larger than that of three foprths of the life COM
panies OF the country, without regard to age,
and that 1t SHOULD have been so largely increased
of late years is greatly due to the energy and
efficiency of the management. Under President
Darlington S administration everything is trans
acted according to sound and systematic bust
ness principles, and economy is made feature
of the management. 1t is reasonably obvious,
too that the Piedmont and Arlington is in
healthful condition financially, and SO fairly
merits the measure Of public confidence vouch-
safed to It,.
