BUSINESS GAINS
% PER CENT
IN 1924
Reliance Life Growth
Due to Liberal
Policies.

The local agency of the Reliance
Life Insurance Company reports an
increase Of business Of 20 per cent
over the corresponding period of 1924.
This remarkable showing, according TO
local officials is due largely TO the
Perfect Protection" plan of this
company which they originated. This
showing has been made in territory
where the dYouth and other unfavor-
able conditions have prev allied during
the last year. and is the more re-
markable considering the comparative
youth Of the company.
The Reliance Life Insurance Com
pany's home office is located in Pitts
burgh, Pa. The company began bust
ness in May. 1904, and in the shor,
time from then until now, has risen
in size and strength until il now ranks
tventy-eighth among American life
insurance companies. This growth,
according to Fred W. Maule. general
agent for South Texas. is due to the
progressive and liberal policies Of the
management, which has resulted in
the perfect Protection" idea and
which has caused this company to-
become known as the Perfect Protec-
ton Company" That this idea of
complete service and protection to the |
policyholders has been appreciated
BY the people the company serves is
demonstrated by the remarkably small
lapse of business reported by all
agencies of the company during the !
