The Commonwealth Life is a Kentucky company. it being the oldest old line life insurance company organized under the laws of that state. and as indicating how 1t is regarded at home. the citizens of Kentucky carry more of their insurance in the Commonwealth than in any other local company.
 The Commonwealth Life began business on June l. 1905, and as the result of seven years work. 1t now has on its books about S4.000,000 of insurance and it's pre- niium income for 1912 will approximate s450,ooo this success being due to the honesty and ability that has always char acterized it's management and to the fair and just treatment it has always accorded it's policy holders.
 The companys home office is in Lous- vile and its officers are not only thor oughly experienced insurance men. but they are also men of high standing in their community and the affairs of the company under their guidance have been so admirably conducted that. in those sections in which the Commonwealth op- crates, it's name has become q synonym for safety and security and for fair and square dealing.
 The Birmingham offices are at 2e9-230 First National Bank building, and are in charge of Superintendent J. E. Tingle, renced insurance man and who has been with the company since t was first or ganized.

What is regarded as one of the strong ing an agency in Birmingham is the In dustrial Life and Health Insurance com pany of Atlanta, Ga. This large and pro gressive company was organized anS started in the fall of 1892, with J. N. Me Eachen as president and l. M. Shefriele as secretary and treasurer. These two men still hold the same offices. the com pany never having changed officers since it's organization.
 The Industrial Life and Health Insur ance company has had 20 years of success full business in writing insurance, and it' outstanding policies now total nearly 2.000 GOO in number, which makes it one of tn, largest companies of it's kind in the south This is the first company organized il the south to write health. accident ant life insurance combined under the sam' policy contract. The company has don't well from the start and attributes its sue cess to the prompt manner of settling al claims by paying them in full as pre- scented.
 The agency of the Birmingham dis. tIict. located in the Woodward build ing on the tenth floor, has for the pas' year been emarkably successful in writing insurance. The Birming ghau ndS lcu LII OtHeT ulStTicts Ioi the last year, having written over 15,- 900 policies since January l, which faci speaks well for the prosperity of the citizens of Birmingham and Its en- yirons.
 The Birmingham agency is especially strong and well managed. being direct ed by S. F. McElreath and c. c. Hewett Both of these experienced insurance men are Georgians. and are men of high qualities, and have impressed themselves since their coming 10 Bir- mingham about a year ago on the bus mess men of this city by their pro- gressiveness and square deal methods That they are making good is evident by the fact that the business of the company has doubled under their man agement. By their energy and fine spir- I. they have proven a welcome ad- dition to the business life of Birming ham, and their aim has been never tc knock competitor but to devote theii time to selling their insurance on its merits.

The Universal Mortgage Bond company is the general agent for the state of Alabama, and the Jefferson County insurance Agency is local agent for the city of Birmingham; the two companies occupying joint offices in rooms 1103-4-5 American Trust building, with M. J. Harper as manager for both, ably assisted by, J. w. Inman. J. T. Hickman, w. B. Burton, and a lasge clerical force.
 As is we'll known, the Southern States Fire Insurance company is an Alabama institution. and is the third largest fire in- surance company in the south, conse- quently the efforts of the general agency and the local agencyare to impress these facts on the insuring public, not only in Birmingham, but throughout the whole state and the result is, Birmingham has in these two companies two tremendous boosters.
 There are about 175 local agents throughout the state who report through the general agency and these agents are not only loyal to the Southern States Fire Insurance company, but are thor oughly imbued with the spirit of boosting home companies.
 The Jefferson County Insurance Agency has a large advantage over most of the other local fire agencies, as it repre- sents only one company, and its slogan

CSC imperial family No other race of draught animals can show such a record of exclusiyeness. The cream colored horses reserved for our own royal family run them close. but some of these had once to wear the yoke of a foreign ruler When Napoleon occupied Hanover ho seized all the cream colored horses in tho royal stables and took them to Paris. The state carriage at his coronation was drawn by eight of these animals, which the Parisians called Hes chevaux cafe au lait."
