The Solid Financial Showing of a
Virginia COMPANY.

The Valley Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of this city has adopted solidity as
its motto. Lately, it increased its perma-
nent reserve fund to 100000 Still later,
to guard against all possible fluctuations
in values of investment it resolved to add
$4,000 to it, so that under all probable
fluctuations there would still be the
solid one hundred thousand dollars
on hand. Of this addition, 81, 1915
has already been put in the fund.
In addition to this the company has estab-
blished an Equalization Fund.- to be
expended in paying death losses in any
year of extraordinary mortality. The re-
port of the company shows that in the
last six months it has made but six as
sessments in the male department and five
in the female, and yet in that time it paid
the policy-holders the sum OF $6s,S52.
Some time since, Mr.. Jos. A. Waddell. the
Examiner of the Books of the Association,
resigned, and 1t was determined to employ
two well known and expert accountants
to perform the respo nsible duty. Messrs.
W. P. Tams, Cashier of the Augusta Ma
tional Bank, and Jos. E. Rollins, Assis
tant Cashier Of the National Valley Bank,
we're employed. The following is their
official report, which speaks louder than
any mere compliment can, for the good
management of the company:
