IT IS WITH PLEASURE THAT WE X copy the following notice of the above Company frorfrgfo Atlanta New Era. In this community,Uk reliability and promptness in immediately paying nil losses, is well knowr , and renders it an institution of pride to our citizens. Its officers are courteous gentlemen, with years of experience in the business, to which iket. coupled with their eminent fitness for the position, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attributed. The Era says: Acts Speak Louder th*v V/ohds. We are gratified to learn on inquiry that the Insurance Company which paid so promptly its loss bv the tiro on the corner of Whitehall and Decatur streets, is a Southern Company, and none other than that reliable institution of our State, Tiik Georgia Home l nsuraxci Company of Columbus, of whi-h Mr. Jno. C. Whitner is Agent. Tho payment was -made within twelve hours after the first cry of tiro was heard, whilst smoko was still issuing from the ruins. No third party came forward to sift and feci about for flaws, but the Agent issuing the policy also makes the payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness. We ask our merchants- and citizens to nolo these facts. The cry has been raised tha» all Southern Companies were totally ruined. The answer to this is. their investments were made before the war, and were never changed. Their loss, therefore, was merely the profits and the labors for four years—though some, like the Georgia Hc/mk. have even come out better than they entered the war. It is false that they an* insolvent. A most remarkable feature of Southern Companies is the absence of “Special Agents” and “Adjusters” to settle up losses. They go on tho presumption that the man they appoint as agent is honest and capable, suffi ciently so to te entrusted with the responsible duty of making out a policy promising to pay you in case of loss, ana sufficiently so as rope}/ up losses when they do occur. When, there fore, yon insure with them, your last transac tion is with tiie swipe man—your friend, your neighbor, your lellovv-citizen—with wh mi your first occurred. We do not mean to be sectional in our ad vice, but we do think when we can Irtiild tip ourselves and our own people at the same cost and with great-t a ivaniage.to ourselves, it is our duty to do so There are a number of Southern Companies represented here who are perfectly reliuole. Call on that experienced Insurance man and polite Southern gentleman, Mr. Whitner, at McCamy & Co.’s Drug Store, and he will give you a list that will surprise von. C. & A. G.
