The Trustees of the Columbia branch

with its principal Offices at Memphis,
Tennessee, aud Atlanta, Georgia, re-
specially invite your attention to the
claims Of this company to public conf.
dence and support.
It was organized in 1865, amid the
gloom and despondency following the
close Of hostilities, and was the pioneer
in its peculiar and bene6cent field.
Having to contend with tho almost uni
versai distrust in the stability of South
ern institutions, it's unparalleled success
is not only an earnest of ability and COO
nomy OF management, but monument
OF the patriotism OF On appreciative
though suffering people.
We have boon solicited, and have, in
order to found one grand organization
for the whole South, consented to join
ibis worthy enterprise. Founded on O.
solid noneyed basis, with ample capital
and large OF assets, its ratio
of assets to liabilities (the true test of

companies. While thcro are several
departments. they are departments of
the Same company. and each and every
ono guarantees the pay ment Of the poll
