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
- •' I
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
mation promptly; advantages which by the very fact of their lo
cation, are denied to companies whose home offices are in dis
tant cities.
: alive 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
ted 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
>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 cs-
WL 4„~. mn in iMAtir nf tlm fopt tint Mr CmWIt^ i.l... ...i t a . NA £4U hie rlnoth hauinrr nmirr.bl Inltr 1*\4h ”
illy 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.
