email Success.
The home office of the Washing
+on-Lee Life Insurance Company Of
Georgia have been opened at Dawson.
This statement is significant. 1t
not only means that this newly or
panized company is rapidly complet-
ing its arrangements to write insur-
once. but that Dawson will rank
along with the large southern and
northern cities as the home of an
old line legal reserve life insurance
company, and with it's growth the
growth of the town will join hands.
If will draw the attention of the
Dnblic to the resources and the op-
nortunities that southern Georgia
nresents to the investor and home
seeker. The work of the organizing
hoard and executive committee has
progressed so rapidly and so salts
factorily that the opening of the
home Offices has become necessary.
As announced in the columns of The
News a short time ago negotiations
were begun for the deposit of $780,
100000 with the state of Georgia.
This will place the Washington
Lee Life Insurance Company of
Georgia in a position to issue poll
cies. and establish it on the same
basis as other old line legal reserve
companies, and Dawson will really
become the home of an insurance
company that promises great prog
ress and it's name will be carried as
by the four winds throughout the
union Every citizen of our town
should join in congratulating the
men who have done this excellent
work.
Few life insurance companies have
made such rapid progress in organi-
cation as the Westinghouse; in
deed instances are rare where COM
panies have been able to do what
this one has done in the short period
of eight weeks from the beginning
of it's organization.
The organizers of this new COM
pany, however, are men of means,
and their confidence in the institu-
ton is equal to the determination to
make its name a household word,
as well as to build up the section
in which they live. The gentlemen
at the head of the Westinghouse
Life Insurance Company have seen
for some time the actual need of
such an organization as they have or
gained. They Investigated the field
thoroughly, having learned that in
surance companies in other localities
had proven marvellous business sue
cesses; they convinced themselves
after thorough investigation that the
fields of Georgia and the neighboring
states are in great need of the bus
mess which they propose to push
iINTERMEDIATE INSURANCE..
But they were not prepared for
the great demand which has been
manifested on all sides for this in
surance and for their agencies. 1t
Is in response to this general de-
mand that the organizers have hur-
Tled their preparations, opened up
tne home office in Dawson and estab-
Ished a new record in the organiZa-
ZION of life insurance company. In
only a few weeks the Washington
Lee Life Insurance Co. hopes to be
writing business, and to be placing
large amounts of intermediate Insur-
ance with the people of Georgia who
are most in need of it. The working
people will be able to buy from this
company insurance in small amounts
aI the same proportiOnate premium
when other companies charge for
policies in denominations of $1,000
and more.
The organization of the forces in
tne home office is progressing rap
Iuly. Mr.. ]. J. Rogers, an insurance
man of marked ability, has been
secured to fill the position of Super
InIendent of Agents. Mr.. Rogers has
nad wide experience in this line of
WORK, and comes to the Washington
