A HEW HOE ENTERPRISE
At lust the most reliable life in
surant in the world h ts put
within reach of the e< n n»-«j peo
ple THE OLD RELIABLE NEW
SOUTH MUTUAL has done it.
The plan of this splendid ®om
pany is no new tangled scheme to
fleece the public hut is the olu orig
nul plan of insurance that was in
trodueed in England ot*v two
hundred year* ago and was in vo
gue in this country until life insur
ance became so popular that specu
lators sc ized upon it to enrich them
and gradually advanced charges
until for many years past they
have collected about four dollars
in premium for every one that they
piUd back in death losses.
Their plants simple bold faced
robbery by which they have piled
up hundred of millions of dollars
unnecessarily taken from the pock
ets of the Southern people, they
pay their officers enormous salar
ies, some times as much as a hund
red thousand dollars a year, while
those who control them speculates
on their immense surpluses of hun
dreds of millions of dollars and be
come millionaries, and woist of all
out of these vast surpluses, fifty
million of which is collected annu
ally, out of these twelve Southern
states they make large contribu
tions to campaign funds t* secure
elections to congress and other
high official position. Men who
are pledged to surport measures
calculated and intended to still rob
the people of these Southern states
(see testimonials taken by the leg
islative committee that investiga
ted those insurance companies of
New York).'
These so-called strong Northern
companies are taking from the
people of Georgia, alone in prem
ium each year, about six millions
of dollars, only about one fourth
of it ever comes back to pay death
losses, this is nearly twice as much
as the people have to pay to sur
port the state goverment including
pension rolls, public schools and
all other state institutions.
The mission of the New South
Mutual is to step the enormous
drain of the productive indrustry
of the South by furnishing the
safest, soundest and the most re
liable Life insurance in the world
to the common people at one third
or one forth of these old line com
panies charge for their policies and
and thus put this wise provision
for the protection of our depend
ents ones within the reach of all
the small farmers, the doctors, the
teachers can carry this insurance
as well as the banker and the spec
ulators, it does this by cutting
off every speculative feature in
life insurance and charging its pat
rons only what is necessary to
pay economical opperating expen
ses and death loses It. piles up no
reserve to invite speculation and
enrich officers and favorite agents
and thus leaves in the pockets of
its policy holders two-thirds, of
what the speculative companies
takeout of them. Its plans and
methods have stood the test of the
most rigid scrutiny for many years
and its strongest points which com
mend it to the intelligent public
are.
It is the safest, soundest and
surest life insurance in the world
the payments of its policies are as
certain as a state or United State
bond because the company has
($20,000 00) twenty thousand dol
lars deposited with the state treas
ury which is paying stock and
gtate bonds to guarantee the pay
ments of its polices. It is the
cheapest insurance ever offered to
MLcDONOUGH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY AUGUST 6, 1909.
the people, its policies cost only
about one third of what the old
line companies charge.
We have total and semi-total
disability clauses in o.ur policies
j which enables ns to pay one hall
• of the amount of the policy for the
loss of either eye or either limb or
the tull amount of the pelt** for
' the loss of both eyes or both limbs
lor the full amount of the policy
j for disability by old age after six
-1 taen years. The money that you
! pay with us to meet losses does not
go to New York never to return
but is kept in your home state by
a treasurer stdected from among
1 your Lome people who has estab
lished a character for honest and
: fair dealings, and who is under
ample bond gnarenteed by one of
* the strongest surity companh s in
the United States. Its policies is
as simple and plain as an ordinary
promisory note and is just us
good for what it calls for as a state
or the United States bond, for we
have ample securities deposited
with the state treasury to guaran
| tee it. It adds as many dollars to
! the value of your estate as it calls
for it strengthens your credit and
tfbove all it provides for the im
mediate wants of your loved ones
when you are taken away from
them.
The cost of insurance in this
company from its orginazation up
until date has been not to exceed
#5,35 per year, and our satisfied
policy holders is the best reference
that we have.
It is a rcgrotible fact that there
are still some people in this coun
try who through carelessness, neg
lect or procrastination will not
carry insurance but with the fa
cilities offered by a sound and
trustworthy insurance company
as t his is I cannot understand how
any prudent or sensible man that
is engaged in active business and
work of life and knowing and real
ising that he does not possess an
assured income and fortune should
fail to protect himself and those
dependent on him by a reasonable
amount of insurance?
It seems to me that tc carry in
surance with the seal of some hon
est company like this is but to dis
charge a duty that is imperatively
suggested by intelligent foresight
and wise precaution.
If you were to die to-day are
your affairs in such shape that
your wife and children would not
need insurance? Can you afford
when you can so easily and so
cheaply protect your family
against want after you are taken
away fiom them to run the risk
of leaving them uniirotected?
Directors for Henry county are :
E. M. Copeland, Dr. Dawson A.
Brown and J. A. Fouche, Clerk of
