THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. MONDAY. DPCEMIUD J1, 1W*. 11 Gash Assets. Surplus. . . $85,000,000 $10,000,000 Organized 1847 Charter Perpetual Insurance In Force Over $400,000,000 THE PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA The Penn Mutual offers no new policy forms for 1907. The Company believes that its present standard contracts, such as Twenty-Year Endowment, Twenty Payment Life, Ordinary Life, Convertible Term, and New Life Rate Endowment, all issued on the Annual Dividend plan, can not 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 Companies 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 conservative 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 insurancs work. While previous ex perience 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 importu nity, upon application to any of our Agents or direct to this office.
