Dear Sir:—I note article In a morn.
Ing paper which le headed, "Capital
Stock Muet Be $100,000,” thla according
to a decision rendered by Attorney
General John C. Hart In response to
request from Secretary of State Philip
Cook. The Inaurance company referred
lo recently applied for a charter to do
Industrial business under the name of
the "Rome. Industrial Life Insurance
Company.” The originator of thla com
pany Is Mr. J. J. Reese, of Rome, Ga.,
and as Mr. C. R. Porter's name appear,
ed with others as applying for the char
ter, 1 have been asked regarding same.
The Rome Industrial Life Insurance
Company has nothing whatever to do,
directly or Indirectly, with the State
Mutual Life Insurance Company of
Rome, Ga., for which I am Atlanta
manager. The State Mutual of Rome
holds a unique position In life Inaur
ance fields In th* South, If not In the
whole country. It haa deposited with
the state treasurer securities valued at
over S100.000 for the protection of the
policy holders In Georgia, it wrote more
business In Georgia last year than any
two companies doing business In the
state, and while only operating In
twelve or thirteen states. It stood sev
enth In gain of business written In the
entire United States.
It Is lending Its money entirely |n
Georgia and the South, and we should
feel proud of Its record. Its solvency
and conservative management can be
confirmed by the commissioner of In
surance and the state treasurer. I am
requesting you to Insert this for fear
the announcement In this morning's pa.
per may be misleading and refiect upon
the company I represent.
