RECORD The Southern States Life Has Never Contested a Death Claim REASON • The usual promptness with which all claims are settled by The Southern States Life Insurance Company, is due, first to its willingness and desire to assist the beneficiary, and second, the fact that it is a home institution, located in the immediate vicinity of the iusured; is easy of access, has facilities for securing infor- f mation promptly; advantages which by the very fact of their lo cation, are denied to companies whose home offices are in dis tant cities. i above tells the story. Prompt payment of death claims proves the Insurance Company’s integrity. The Southern States life, by reason of the fact that its home office is led in the heart of the South, paid the policy immediately. There are no long and tedious waits in the payment of policies in The Southern States Life Insurance Co. Its j rd is perfect. "You could not possibly have acted with greater promptness, as your settlement was mailed on the same day the claim papers reached you. This was es- jdly gratifying to me in view of the fact that Mr. Smith’s policy was only taken out June 6th, his death having occurred July 15th.” 'he Southern States Life Insurance Co. J. H.
