THE CAROLINA BENEVOLENT
ASSOCIATION.

This is the only Life insurance Com
.pany in this country which restricts and
confines liability of its members to terri
torial bounds or divisions; thereby pro-
tecting its members living in healthy
locality and giving them credit for the
blessings of healthy surroundings. rather
than charge them with the burden
of increased mortality in malarious and
unhealthy districts. This is tho anly
company which gives the Insured protec-
ton against death, old age and accident
in one policy contract. This is the only
company doing business ur,ler a North
Carolina license which makes the nomi-
nal charge of $500 per thousand for ex-
penses land is so limited in the clIarter).

rs the only life insurance company in
existence which has it's accounts audited
by competent board of auditors the
frst of each calendar month. and is
compelled under the charter to mail

port free of charge. This company only
issued one kind Of policy and for one
amount, viz: $1,000 in event of death:
SoOO00 in event of the loss of one hand
