their friends knew of the wedding
until this afternoon.

INSURANCE FOR PROTECTION
OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

Mr.. r. S. Rogers, president of the
Florida Title & Abstract Corpora
ton, has taken out a $1,000 insur-
ance policy on his life, made payable
to the company for the protection
of the stockholders of his corpora
ton. This method of giving sta
bility to interpretations is becoming
more in use each year and is one of
the results of modern business
methods and many companies, both
incorporated and co-partnerships,
often take out insurance policies on
the lives of the heads of the COM
panies or on one or both of the
partners. When death removes the
head and oftimes the guiding hand
of company, there may occur a
period when before the reorganiza-
ton can take place and the business
placed in smooth running order
again, that available cash means the
future success of the enterprise.
Into this breach comes the insurance
money on such a policy and its ben
efits are too often demonstrated to
question the wisdom OF the method.
