our high appreciation 2pI Of the conduct Of
tecting our mutual interests. We cannot close
without referring to the advantages Ito the
community Of our Local Board features, which
will be continued under the present arrange

business, in that II loans q large portion of its
funds to its patrons wherever 1t has these
insured by deposits and Investments in their
own community, instead Of diverting this
amount of money from its proper channel and
interest than could be obtained where it is first
received, as is the practice with many other
companies, on account Of the restrictions in
their charters. The members of our Local
Board are too well knoGn in this city as among
our best and truest business men, to require an
Introduction at this time. Their names appear
on all our literature, and we take pleasure In
referring to them for any information desired in
regard to the above statements. Those gentle
men have had the control Of thousands Of dol
lars, loaned (under the Anchor Life) to those who
needed such accommodation, and we believe
that under the present arrangements they Will
control and loan many more thousands. We
hope that our patrons will pay no attention t.
any statements that may be made to them by
outside parties until they have interviewed u
on this subject, as we can assure them of all the
facts in the case much better than those who
know nothing about it. We also inform them
that any circulars or other documents received
by them from the Home Office, (AnchOr I.ife,)
to pay or send their Policies there, are not in
tended By the Officers of said Company to af-
fec Policy Holders in this Agency, as special
arrangements have been made with John I.
Lighter that all renewals and transfers of Pol
icies pertaining to this Agency shall pass through
his hands until the transfe r. are all completed.
