When you insure your life you should “Be Sure”, von are in the right company. Tli-re are sever al things to be considered before you “go ahead.” First, you want to have a policy with the strong est company insuring its policy holders at the smallest cost. Se cond, you want to determine the difference between “investment” companies and “protection” com panies. Third, you want to in sure with the company giving you the benefit of both. If you want to invest your money, why not de posit it with your home bank at interest? When you insure your life it should be for the protec tion of your widow and children. The Mutual Life of Georgia gives you this benefit and is the Oldest industrial company of its kind in Georgia, and up to date has done more business than any other assesmeut company in Geor gia, having written $2,780,000.00 during the last four months. The average cost of insurance to the Policy Holders throughout the state is $5.45 a year per thous and. Paid beneficiaries $26,108.00 during the last twelve months.
