ATLANTA UEOROIAN AND NEW0
NOTWITHSTAmiNG THE FACT
That the NORTHWESTERN. MUTUAL LIFE wrote
a larg^f amount of new busine^ than in any previous
year, in its-history, and that the transactions in all other
departments of the Company’s activities were larger than
ever before, the expense rate was the lowest in any .year
ot the Company’s history, and lower than any other Com
pany in the United States has reached during any year
of the last ten, up to and including 1905. That is man
agement, and explains why the Northwestern pays the
largest dividends, and furnishes insurance at the lowest
let cost of any American Company.

With the departure Of many of the

the largest In the history of the state

the moat practical and lasting.
Will Rssult in Good.*
In the opinion of practical business
men, the results of the convention mark
the turning of the tide, the ebb <d
which has left Georgia face to face with
a scarcity of labor and the contempla
tion of idle and unoccupied acres of
land such as has hampered beyond as.
sources and great Industries ; n
midst of an era of prosperity unprece
dented. And Just as surely, in the
opinion of these tame men, on the
crest of the turning title will be borne
a new oltlxemy. sucli ax wtll piac llcally
and effectually solve the most difficult
problem of the present and the scarcity
of labor; till the Idle nnd unoccupied
sens bring about the Immediate de
velopment of natural resources, so long
Iain dormant, and correct some of the
abuses of a class of labor conceded
to be for the moat part as unreliable
and totally Incompetent to meet the
pressing needs.
