The" Henry County Weekly VOL. XXXIV 8 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 Superior Court. Our past record indicates the strength and business like management (1 this great in stitution ard as to its merits I can honestly say that if all the insur ance that I have seen I have not seen any that surpasses this, and the above named can tell you some thing about years.
