No financial institution in the country
can show more encouraging progress
than the Chatham Bank. 1t was organ
lied four years ago and has had a con-
tinually successful career ever since
The amount of business transacted by

terially, showing the excellent manage
ment of those in whose charge the affairs
OF the bank are placed. The Chatham
Bank does a general banking business,
buys and sells exchange and handles col

partment has been conducted in such an
enterprising manner that the number of
depositors has greatly increased, and

The old Reliable Penn.

The "Old Reliable" Penn Mutual is
what they call IL, and the name is well
deserved-an Insurance company-safe
and reliable, strong and conservative,
one that insures this it what the Penn
Mutual is-es tablished in ls45-the
Penn Mutual has made rapid strides in
the right direction, and il is now every
where regarded as one of the model insur-
ance companies Of the country. il has
ever been conducted with the great OBJ
jects Of liberality to and security for it's
policy holders. Large and regular divi-
dends are one Of its strong features, with
practical illustrations right here in Sa-
vannah-wherc its hundreds of policy
holders indOrse its management and
speak in highest terms of its big dividend
paying qualities.
In the 45th annual report to the policy
holders, the president says:
The forty-fifth annual report of the af-
fairs OF your company is herewith pre-
sented. In so doing the management takes
pleasure, as heretofore, in submitting I'M
mlstakable evidence of a sound financial
position and increasing growth, the latter
entirely consistent with the interests Of
the policy holders and the assured per-
manence and extended usefulness of the
institution. No life insurance company
can perpetuate itself without an access
sion OF members adequate to replace
those who retire by death, lapse or
maturity of their contracts. The prob
lem always is to obtain such accession upon
terms promotive of the corporate vel
fare, and while strong and unjustifiable
competition among companies has ad-
versely affected the general interest of
life insurance, it is thought your COM
pany has escaped any injury from this
cause, being content to pay for new bust
ness cOnSidera bly, less than the ruling
rate. The wisdom of this course is es-
tablished by the large volume of new in
suranCe procured during 1892 reaching a
total of 1908 policies for S29, 074 ,652. 90,
exhibiting reasonable increase over the
product of the preceding year. The as
sets of the company now reach the sum
of Sc, SOS, 500 30.
1.-THE liabilities of the company have
been carefully computed and are now
lS, 1856, 0434S. OF this sum 81, 919, 451
represents the reserve at 4 per cent,
which the law requires to be maintained.
The balance is for death losses awaiting
proof or not as yet due, premiums paid in
advance, surplus on unreported and de-
ferred premiums, etc, etc
1.-THE companyha now upon the basis of
its present valuation of securities sur
plus of S2,623, 64S,Sl, and from this sum
the trustees, by resolution, have author
lied the officers to apply 500, $4,000 in re
duct1On of the premiums of 1893, as
they are paid the company, and for
credits and Accommodations, as expressed
in the policies"
Julian Schley is the general agent of
the Penn at Savannah-and a more ener-
getic agent cannot be found. Mr.. Schley
keeps moving up the figures Of the total
insurance written by him even in these
hard times, and man that can do this is
the kind Of general agent to have.

McDonough & Co.

AS the commercial and industrial in
terests Of Savannah are so large and
varied, it is a matter of necessity that
her facilities in the great lumber trade
should be extensive and that those inter
ested in the trade should be competent to

most enterprising is McDonough & Co,

APHARMAcEUT1oAL PALACE.
The Handsome Store in the Guards

The Handsome Store in the Guards
ArInory Occupied by Solomons & Co.
The most attractive part about a drug
store is its fixtures and soda water foun-
tain. If it were not for these, there would
be no delight in entering a house filed
with nostrums that usually sicken one on
sight. Watching "a pharmacist rolling
pills on pine board or pouring poison
from dirty blue bottle would not be in
viting, to saY,the least. Considering the
feelings and fine tastes of their patrons,
the druggists always endeavor to make
their store as attractive as possible, and
spend much time and money to reach
their ideas Of good taste and convenience.
In the city of Savannah there are a
number Of handsomely equipped drug
stores. IN the Guards new armory, how
ever, there is one which has been fitted
up under the supervision of Mr. Solo
mons, Of the firm of Solomous & Co,
which, for its complete equipment and
handsome appearance, exCels any store of
the kind ia the country 1t is a perfect
palace. The handsomely decorated ma
hoEany fixtures, the plate-glass mirrors,
the beautiful and convenient show cases,
the thoroughly arranged prescription de-
partmcut, themarole floor and the attract
i've soda water fountain. all contribute TO
the elegance Of the establishment MIR.
SolomOns takes pride in making this
store attractive and has spared no ex-
ponse in carrying out his idea of what a
palatlal pharmacy should be. 1t is worth
a visit 10 see this beautifully equipped es-
adjustment

Andrew Hanley.

In reviewing the commercial and man
ufacturing advantages of the city of Sa-
vannah, we are confronted by many enter
prises especially worthy of extended
notice and consideration A striking
example of this is found in the extensive
plant of Andrew Hanley used in the
manufacture of King S Winsor Asbestos
Cement This cement is becoming Justly
celebrated.
This material makes walls and ceilings
more elastic than any other material
known for plastering. The asbestos used
renders the material a great protection
against fire and deadens sound. The eX-
IRENE density of the cement renders it
vermin and germ proof 1t is antitrust.
1t will not diseolor any material. 1t is
free from acid. 1t is not made by any
chemical process, and no action takes
place after setting, which is matter of
two or three hours only. Frost or water
will not injurG the work after it is once
set. By an improvement made recently
he has been able to reduce the time of
setting on the wall and ceilings from
eighteen hours to the time named above
1t will not chip or pit. 1t dries out from
three to five weeks quicker than lime or
hair mortar; carpenters can follow plas-
terers in from three to four days after the
skin coat is applied. His Float Sand
Finish gives a fine effect when the walls
are decorated. Two or three coats Of
paint used on any of the above walls will
give much better effect than three to
four on old style of finish.
Evidences of the superiority of this
material is shown in the Guards new
armory, where the walls are covered by
it. a passing observation will convince
any one Of its. excellency.
Andrew Hanley also deals in doors,
sash, blinds, mouldings, paints, oils,
railroad, steamboat and mill supplies.
stain work, builders material, terra Gotta
pipes, lime, hair and cement. His spa
ciOus salesrooms are at the corner of
Whitaker, York, President and Barnard
streets.

Savannah Beer.

This is getting 10 be a beer drinking
community; perhaps from the fact that
nearly every city In the world contributes
10 making the beverage Of the Father
land universal; but the main reason for
its popularity in the city is that the peo-
pie are beginning to learn that good do
nestle beer, fresh from the brewery, is
not only delicious drnught but a health
giving drink. IL is a fact well known
by those who have taken the care to in
vestigate that pure beer, brewed at
home brewery, is absolutely bet
ter than that which is shipped
from other points. Ask any
one who has visited the extensive brew
cries of the north and west, and they
will tell you that the beer is really more
palatable there than it is when sold In
other cities. The fact is plain. The beer
must necessarily be specially prepared 50
as to make it keep. In this its best quail
tiles are often destroyed. The Savannah
Brewing Company have added a great
many excellent improvements and faCili-
ties TO their plant during the past year,
and the beer which they are now making
is as fine as any brewed in the United
States. For long time, when this brew
cry was in its infancy, there
were "some would-be Judges who
were either preiudiced against
the home manufacture, or perhaps were
honest in their expressions of the distaste-
for the product. There is no room for
complaint now Every defect in thebrew-
ing have been remedied Only first-class
and experienced brewers are employed,
and only the very finest and purest mate
rails are used in the Manufacture of this
