White Manufacturing company, for
their operations have been steady
and constant in serving these COM

their faith in the possibilities of
that business and the tremendous
opportunities afforded the compan-

II you think In terms of yester-

Recently the eyes Of the insur-
ance world were turned to FL Paso
by the Two Republics Life Insur-
ance company. who set a new
standard in the insurance field py
the issuance of a sub standard
policy, which has attracted the at
tention of agents in all parts Of
the United States.
Allen H. Rodes has during his
term as president made the Two
Republics Insurance company one
of the great insurance institutions
of the Southwest, and with the
coming of the standard policy
he has placed his company in ad-
vance of the times among the in
surance companies of this country.
The principles of life insurance
as great humanitarian insctu-
ton, in the concept Of the officers
of the Republics, contem-
plates that every man is entitled
to its protection at a rate common

more or less physically perfect
risks, termed STANDARD"
Thus the man with a physical
impairment or poor family his
tory has been denied the privilege
of insuring his life against the Ger

These men. it is patent, stand
most in need of protection since
the probabilities are that they will
die before their normal expectancy
of life is reached.
The Two Republics propose to
take care Of applicants Of this class
by writing them life insurance at
