THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER Jl. DOS. Cash Assets .<80,000,00(1 . . .<10,000,000 Organized 1847 Charter Perpetual. Insurance in Forcr Over ,<400,000,000 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.

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.

So well did she play the part that she was cordially hated by the gal lery before the first act was half over. The others Ir. the cast are acceptable. There Is plenty of special scenery, and real water Is used for rain In one act. The usual crowded house greeted the presentation of the play last night. C. J. K. Lawyer 8u«i for Fat.
