A satisfactory indication of the bust
ness enterprise of this community is
shown in the appointment of a new
ordinary manager for this city by The
Prudential Insurance Company of
America, with Home Office in Newark,
n. j. This company has taken its
place as one of the leading life insur-
ance companies of the country, and IS
evidently satisfied that there is enough
new business in this section to neces-
state the appointment of special
Representatives. The twenty-sixth an
nual statement of the company for 1901,
shows that it has had an extraordinary
year of success. The company has now
in force four and ore-half million
policies, affording life insurance pro-
lection equal to 500, 600, 600 to more than
one million families. When it is re-
membered that The Prudential is a
young company in comparison with
some of the older American companies
whose business it rivals, all the more
significance viii be attached to these
figures. 1t is quite clear that When a
company studies the public interest
and is quick to see and to provide for
every new requirement., the people are
not slow to appreciate such acton and
TO reward it by their patronage. Write
to the local manager for information
concerning it's policies, which furnish
guaranteed protection to the FAMILY.
