people from every walk of life will
have an opportunity to secure q. prac-
| ticable and substantial insurance and
| at the same time will keep that
amount of money in the state where it
will pay Kansas taxes and help to
make Kansas a leader in insurance
business as well as. agricultural prod
ucts and manufactures.
|. The officers of the company are
men of wide acquaintance in business
circles. j. N. Dolley. president of the
company is possibly the most talked
| of man in the state in banking circles
| because of his association with the
new bank guarantee laws recently
enacted in Kansas and the wide at
tention which has been paid to the
operation of the law. The manner in
which he has met the obstacles in
the campaign for guarantee for the
safety of Kansas wealth is surely the
strongest recommendation that he will
conduct the business of the Home
Mutual on exactly the same conser-
vative basis.
How Others VIII Help.
f. L. Copeland, first vice president
of the company is also secretary and
treasurer of the Santa Fe railway
the entire state the Santa Fe has
thrown out its arms of steel. and
brings all people in close touch and
converts the man on the western
manufacturer in the eastern portion.
A host of men are employed by
this company, an army of clerks are
required to conduct the company's
business. They are Kansans and be-
lieve in Kansas enterprises. That
their executive officer is one of the
guiding spirits in this Kansas company
is positive proof of the solidity of the
Home Mutual. His influence will be
a great assistance in developing the
Mutual into the strongest insurance
company in the United States.
J. s. Longshore, the assistant sec
rotary is travelling about over the
state practically his entire time and
everywhere this official may go he
will bear witness of one of the most
deserving institutions ever organized
in Kansas. He is a man of wide ac-
quaintance and a substantial citizen.
Fred S. Jackson, attorney general
and attorney for the Home Mutual
is the man for the place. His integ-
rity and business qualifications In
sures careful and religious adher-
ence to the state laws regulating In
surance companies.
Reverend Edwin Locke, pastor of
the Central Avenue Baptist church,
could not attach his name and sup
port to an institution which would
not stand the test of public scrutiny.
His presence on the Mutual's direc-
torate will create confidence which is
such a necessary requisite to the sue
cess of a company where the funds
of the people are handled.
G. E. Denton, has friends through
out the state. in fact the name is Ia
miliar in every household and stands
for honesty and fair dealing.
]. c. Gafford, treasurer of the COM
pany, has acted as accountant for
Kansas and will account to the Home
Mutual for the expenditures of their
funds. Money could not be placed in
safer hands.
- -
company is the one man upon which
the detail work of the company VIII
fall. He is an organizer and knows
the secret of handling men. This Is
not his first venture in organizing in
surance companies. The knights and
Ladies of Security, a fraternal order
with a reserve fund, is the product OF
his brain. That order has reached
membership of $4,000
since 1892 and Is still growing. If he
made a success of that order he
knows the secret of organization and
OF this company.
With this array of capable men IN
terested and hundreds of policy hold
ers satisfied 1t is not a question OF
how much will they grow but state
ment, positive and present tense
''They are growing"
Will Examine Records.
The records of the company will be
under the strict supervision OF the
state laws and of the officers OF the
company. The records will be examin-
ed and inspected by the state insur-
ance commissioner and everv incrim-
mating action or misapplication or
funds avoided.
Not a single effort or legal step
will remain unfinished to make the
Home Mutual the safest company In
the United States.
Employ Home Help.
Every officer of the company Is
citizen of Kansas. The home offices
will be in Topeka and the employees
in office or field will be Kansas peo-
pie. Every dollar paid for general Of
flee force will be paid in the state
and spent here Every dollar paid the
field force will find its way back to
the business men from whom the -.
money was accepted in payment OF
premiums. The official, clerical and
field force which attends to the busi-
1ess for the foreign companies now
loing business in Kansas claim their
residence in other states and the mil
ions Of dollars taken from Kansas
Zach year goes to pay their salaries In
,ther states. Just as well have that
,um paid to official forces in Kan
ias
Can Take Care of Her Own.
Kansas is big enough, rich In the
natural resources and produces more
,rains than is required TO do her
business. Then why go away from
home to insure our lives?
