Mr.. Rufus a. Harman, agent for
the South Atlantic Life Insurance
Company, of Richmond is the winner
OF prize offered by his company
to the agents IN Virginia, North Car
olina and Georgia, who would write
the largest amount Of Insurance for
the months of May and June. Rufus
let himself out, and went at il with n
vim. On the tenth of this month he
was informed by the Company that
he had written the largest per cent
OF certain allotment than any 9th
or agent in the field. The prize, we
understand is trip at tho expense of
the Company to Atlantic CITY.
This speaks we'll, not only for Ru-
fus, as an agent, but also for his
Company. He could write some
insurance for almost any company,
however ironclad or intricate it's pol
ieies, but such policies as tho South
Atlantic offers commend themselves
at once TO the people. This com
pany has had n wonderful growth IN
Virginia and other states. Its pros
poets arc brighter than ovor before.
Again we say, Hurrah for Rufus.
