The Only Negro Burial Association
With This Amount

Many organizations have claimed distinct place in
the burial association bureau in the state Mississippi
but the Century Burial Association outcassed all
other Negro burial associations
In order that the Century Burial agents could get
on the field and talk big as loud as they desired
the management placed $4,000, TEN THOUSAND DOL
LARS on deposit with the State Insurance Department
and has the distinct honor of being the only burial
association owned and operated by Negroes in the state
of Mississippi with this amount deposit The Cen
tury Burial Association deposited with the DOLLAR and
not with the TONGUE When agents go out not boast
ngy however and tell the public that they represent
the largest burial association in the state Negroes
and can give the best protection their statements are
backed up by cash deposit with the Insurance Depart
nent WHAT they say not a matter Sales Talk
but true facts The association is in class to itself The
contract is liberal be offered in the state and
the service is courteous and efficient The Century Bu-
rial Association can come toequa and surpass what
ever standard burial association Judged by and what
ever the public IN general expects burial association
Our agents not afraid and ashamed to offer a Cen
fury contract.
One of the first things one should be concerned
about when taking a contract policy with any COM
pany is whether not that association company

We do not believe the Century Burial could have pro-
crossed under any other leader it has done under MI
Iuddleson The association has outstrpped the other
burial associations in the state some of which were or
ganized long before Mr. Huddleson had idea to
fer into the burial business The number of good agents
who work for burial association goes long way but
there must also be good manager or leader The Cen
turv Burial Association is always mindful OF the I'M
portance of good agents and believes the Century Burial
Association has as good and loyal agents there
in any burial association in the state We are proud of
these agents the efforts they have made to put the
Century Burial Association over the top.
We can conveniently reach the entire state of Miss
issipp parts Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana how
