The TRAVELLERS INSURANCE CO,
OF HARTFORD. CONN.
There are many insurance companies
which are soliciting business from the
--s,r population of these United States
sr8 there are many agents who spend
-rsi- entire time AID life in prOclaiming
~. great advantages, and many technic-
,r-ies Of insurance companies generally,
~ tbt Travellers Insurance Company Of
Hartford. Conn, issues lie and endow-
-1ent policies that are considered the best
IN the world. Their different systems com
--fsfng regular life, which is one of the
6r9esr and best known forms of insurance;
ttsir limited payment system. which con-
cantrates payment during the working
cars Of a mans life and makes il easy
n his old age; their regular endowment
md annuity plans. and the combined life
and accident systems are all plain, feas-
ible and profitable.
The prime object of nearly every one
who seeks the protection of life insur-
enca is to secure the largest possible
amount which the premium paid will jus
tify. A dividend which comes at the end
M the policy year, in the shape of "a re-
auction of the next years premium, does
NOT answer the necessity of the case; the
nolicy-holder wants insurance, and all that
he can get with the premium paid; and,
if at the end or the year, portion of the
premium is returned which was not need
ed 10 maintain the policy, he marvels why
he was required TO pay this portion in the
first Instance; or why they did not give
him. at the start, all the insurance which
his money would buy, in place of return
ing intact a portion of the last year
premium not needed for insurance.
The premium, for example, on a $4,000
policy, at age'of 30, in a dividend company
is S233; the same premium paid to the
Travellers Insurance Company would
have secured a policy for S12,767 at the
start The policy holder may get a divi-
dend at the end of the year; but if he
dies during the year, his beneticiaries will
receive S2.767 less than they would have
received from the Travellers. The Travel
ers' Insurance Company. in other words,
on this policy and for the same premium,
pays in advance an equivalent for future
dividends, by s2767 additional insurance
payable a. death.
This company is represented in this city
by Mr.. Henry l. Seemann who is super
vising agent. His office is at Bay apd
Drayton streets. Mr. Seemann is well
known, having been a resident of this city
for sixteen years. Since eight years he has
been in the insurance business, an ener-
getc and reliable gentleman. who re-
ceives a liberal share of the business he
richly deserves.

A handsome picture in an artistic frame
is indeed an ornament worthy of any
home, but no matter how artistic the
picture if the frame is poor and ill-ftted.
Charles r. Ladeveze, the artistic picture
frame manufacturer, is changing all this
for the better, as his frames make even
the poorest picture look the richer by it's
setting. He makes a speciality of artistic
work, and his trade is growing daily.
High-grade picture frames, portraits,
sheet pictures, artists materials, wall
holdings, etc, are among HIS special fea-
lures. Savannah people were pleased when
his factory opened and thousands of his
frames have adorned the many handsome
pictures found in hundreds of happy
homes in this city.
There is much taste in selecting the
proper kind of a frame for any particular
picture and half the effect of a good pic
ture is lost with the poor frame. That is
where Mr.. Ladeveze excels.
All the latest styles are to be found in
his place. 174 Broughton street.
