TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI.

with the american Life Insurance Compa
ma. as Manager of the Southern Depart
mcnt. ceases, that Company hlvin" de
cIdcd TO retire from this State. and aS it i
generally known to the citizens OF this
State that have had the management OF
the business interests of this Company
for the past eight wears. deem it proper
! to state that my relations with the Com
pany during this time have been intimate
pleasant and satisfactory, and the action
of the Company. in closing this connec-
ton. was occaSioned by no disagreement
between the Company and myself, nor
from any personal considerations, but for
| other reasons. that seemed to the Compa-
ny to call for and Justify such action. \
large number of Eastern and Northern
companies. owing in part TO the peculiar
requirements of our State insurance laws.
and other causes, have withdrawn from
| Mississippi.
The undersigned is glad in being able
to state to the policy holders of the
american Life Insurance Company in this
State, that their interests We're honOrably
ing this action. and that they will be full
ly protected. The undersigned was con-
suited by the Company, and through ne
gOtiatiOns an arrangement was finally eff
fected with the MOBILE LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY, of Mobile, Ala. by which ev-
cry person in Mississippi holdings policy
in the american Life will be entitled to re-
ceive a similar policy in the MOBILE LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANY i'm the same amount
and upon the same terms and conditions
as the one he holds i'm the american, and
without any additional expense or physi-
clans examination.
This transfer to the MOBILE LIFE IN
sURANCE COMPANY can be very easily eff
fected, and it is desirable that it should
be done as speedily as possible, and all
who hold policies of the american are re-
questcd to forward the same to me with
out delay, or to my nearest agent, when
the exchange will be Immediately made.
Feeling that this arrangement will
prove eminently satisfactory. take pleas
ure in stating that I have accepted the
position of General Manager for the
States of Louisiana, Mississippi and Ten
nessee of that deservedly popular South
ern institution, the Mobile LIFE INSU-
RANCE COMPANY. of Mobile.
One of the greatest obstacles i'll my eff
forts i'll the past. has been the disposition
on the part of our people to cncollr-
age. and support home institutions =
the companies of the South. The oppor-
tunity to do this now furnished TO the
people by the new arrangement, should
and undoubtedly will be, eagerly en-
braced. The MOBILE LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY is one of the sotlndest, most
strongly organized, most successful, and
best managed of all our Southern Life
Insurance Companies; and having made
Il thorough investigation into its cOntii-
ton and affairs, can most cordially com
mend it as one of our most honorable
and reliable institutions.
With sincere respect for the old, staunch
american, with which have been so long
nary degree of satisfaction that my eff
forts will now be directed to the upbllild-
ing and perpettllting OF a substantial
HOME Company-that my duty will be in
perfect accord with my sentiments; for l
have just pride in aiding the business de-
velopment and pr o>perity of my native
South.
The system of Life Insurance is rapidly
gaining strength and favor in the South.
1t meets Il need of our people Which no
OTHER institution or interest can supply.
The undersigned has given many years
of active labor TO ChiS cause; and rs he |
has seen the benefits of Life Insurance
practically eNemplified. over two hun
drcd thousand dollars having been paid
through him to widows and orphans in |
Mississippi, besides other States. he feels |
peculiar qualification that he is enabled to |
go on in the good work, and i'm assOcia-
ton with an institution OF such high |
standing and financial responsibility as |
the MOBILE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
| feel it to be my duty to warn policy
holders of the american against unscrt-
puloIS agents Of rival companies. who |
may attempt TO prejudice them as to the
arrangement referred to above, and whose |
only object must be to advance their own |
and at the expense of the poll |
cy-hOlder, by inducing such policy-hOld- !
er to loose sight of his old policy and take
a new policy in his company. Berare Of
the representations IF sach agents.
The undersigned. in returning his |
thanks to his friends generally. and the |
agents and policy-holders of the ''Otd
who have contributed so large |
ly Ill extending the business of that Com |
pany since his connection with it. sincere |
ly trusts that he may have their contin- |
ued confidence, cooperation and support |
in assuming the duties and responsible |
ties of his new relations III the great and |
