The following is the address of the

SOUTHERN LIFE INSURANCE Co..
COLUMBIA. s. O., April %, 1873.
TO Me Citizens Of South Carolina:
The Trustees of the Columbia branch
OF the Southern Life Insurance Company,
with its principal Offices at Memphis,
Tennessee, and Atlanta, Georgin, re-
spectfnlly invite your attention to the
claims Of this company to public conf.
dence and support.
It was organized in 1866, amid the
gloom and despondency following the
close of hostilities, and was the pioneer
in its peculiar and benefcent field.
Having to contend with tho almost uni
versai distrust in the stability of South
ern institutions, its unparalleled success
ls not only an earnest of ability aud eco-
nomy Of management, but monument
OF the patriotism OF on appreoiative
though suffering people.
we have been solicited, and have, in
order to ionnd one grand organization
for the whole South, consented to join
this worthy enterprise. Founded on O.
solid Inoneyed basis, with ample capital
and large accumulation OF assets, its ratio
OF assets to liabilities (the true test OF q
strengtb) equals all the older
companies. While thero are several
departments. they are departments OF
the same company, and each and every
ono guarantees the pay ment of the poli-
cies Of the company.
