this year between four and five million

The Travellers ranks first for prompt

The Travellers issues all the stand
ard forms of guaranteed policies, and
issues them for about 20 per cent less
premium than is charged by other
standard companies writing business
| in Pine Bluff. Tie Travellers write a
fifteen payment policy for the same
rate as the mutual companies (such
as the New York Life, Mutual Life,
Equitable and Massachusetts,
charge for mutual twenty
payment life policy, the saving
of five full years premiums and
getting through paying premiums TO
the company in fifteen years instead
of twenty years means a great deal 70

The line of policies written by the
Travellers include ten, fifteen and
twenty premium policies, per cent
