Metropolitan Life Extends Aid in
 State Development

The Metropolitan Life Insurance company, whose executive offices are now in Birmingham. is lending ap- proximateiy ss,000.000 a year in Ala bama. according to Robert Jemison, Jr. whose company represents the New York concern in these loan transactions.
 With A former vice president of the United States. Thomas R. Mar shall. a great mining engineer; John Hays Hammond. great editor; Clark Howell. the president of great life insurance company; Haley Fiske of the Metropolitan Life. and two vice presidents of the Metropolitan Life. F. O. Ayres and pr. Lee K. Frankel. all here at the same time. Birming- ham is host to distinguished galaxy of visitors" said Mir. Jemison. The presence of the life insurance offi- cials is possibly as significant to the people of Alabama as that of the members of the coal commission. as the Metropolitan Life is now lending approximately ss,ooo,0oo per annum to the farmers, home-owners and property of Alabama. This is probably the largest loan disburse- ment of any corporation operating in Alabama, and tho warm friendship of the Metropolitan justifies the belief that the company will become still more helpful financially to the people of our state.
