Lite policies are now generally conceded to be
among the most certain and most desirable of
Investments. This Company, managed upon
principles of economy, offers the lowest rates of
Premiums, consistent with safety, and louer than
any other Company doing business in the State
and its success is established fact. Its profits
are realized in Virginia and by Virginia people,
and all reserve from Premiums, as security to
the Policy holders additional to the Capital
Stock, is invested by the Local Boards in that
section of the State from which it is derived.
Being convinced, by their knowledge of the
integrity and prudence of the gentlemen who
compose its directory, and by thorough exami-
nation of the plan of organization, that it is in
every respect reliab le Company, the citizens OF
Staunton, named above, have themselves sub
scrlbed to its Stock and taken policies, and feel
wars nted in commencing the enterprise to the
favorable consideration of the Valley people.
