1 The Penn Mutual Life Lsurance Compa y
The Penn Mutual offers'iio new policy forms for 1907. The Company believes that its present standard con
tracts, such as Twenty-Year Endowment, Twenty-Payment Life, Ordinary Life, Convertible Term, and New Life
Rate Endowment, all issued on the Annual Dividend plan, cannot be further improved.
The Penn Mutual does not offer Special Board Contracts, by which one member is promised advantages not
given to all. Being a purely Mutual Company, it could not do so and be honest.
For five years the Penn Mutual has led all Companies in Georgia in paid-for business, and now leads all Com
panies in volume of business in force in the State. This excellent result is because of the Company’s untarnished
record for sixty years, the excellence of its policy forms, its liberal dividends, and especially because of its con-
iservative management, which believes in exact and equal justice to all, with special favors to none.
We invite correspondence with capable men of good character who desire to engage in life insurance work.
'While previous experience in life insurance work is desirable, it is not essential. Liberal contracts for 1907 will be
[offered.
To people who intend buying insurance, we will be pleased to furnish full information and specimen policies,
free from importunity, upon application to any of our Agents or direct to this office.

as a white horse, and ash barrel or

him tc change from one personality to
another. an«l that too. in the twinkling

of keeping cases on the “vllyuns." Not
he.
Then lie had an electric machine which

what’s the use of telling? You ought
to see the show. It will take you back
to those good old days when you used
to sneak back of the barn to read about
the doings of Old Hleuth and Old Cap
Collier.
The play was written by .Mr. Hall
and Ids manager, Charles E. Hlaney.
It is based upon the care of Mrs. Cos-
>le Chadw ick, who Is now doing time In
