MISSISSIPPI LIFE INSURANCE COM
|. PANY OPENS DALLAS OFFICES.

The Negro business life of Dallas
received a distinct boost when the
Mississippi Life Insurance Company
opened its new Texas office in the
Pythian Temple a few days ago and
sent its agents at once to selling it's
protection to the people of Texas.
The company was organized in In
dianola, Mississippi in January, 1909.
The founder of the company was
Wayne w. Cox, husband of Mrs. Min
ME Cox. famous Post Mistress of the
little town, which took on National
fame during one of the Roose-
welt administrations when that noted
President ordered the post office
closed because of the objections to and
intimidation of this Colored woman
acting as Post Mistress.
This company in time out-g grew the
facilities of this little delta town, and
moved its home office to Memphis,
Tenn, where it has a beautiful Home
office building housing ten beautiful
offices all occupied by the company's
official and employees Thirty-five
members of our race work for the
company in this building; and more
than three hundred men and women of
the race serve as its agents on the
filed.
