for insurance is an investment, with
reputable companies in the south than
to send It to the north.
This.change In Georgia is to a con
siderable extent, brought about by the
/act that ttS strict insurance law* of
Georgia assure safety, particularly
when combined with the legul reserve
principal which has been adopted by
the chief ion them companies.
For a long time, statistics show
that Georgia, which stands tenth in
population of all states In the tijilo*,
stands eleventh in the amount of
premiums paid on life Insurance. Fur*
ther figures show that the premiums
are being paid in larger and larger
degree to southern companies, thus
keeping the money “at home." For
instance, the State Mutual Life In
surance company, of Rome, Georgia,
which stands flrnt in size, nnd rapid
ity of growth among companies of Its
class has mado wonderful strides. It
is an old line legal leservo company.
Recent figures show that $350,000,000
of new life Insurance, was written in
the south during 1900. Of this 43
active southern companies wrote $&!,-
000,000, and the Georgia State Mu
tual wrote over 10 per ce/it of the
entire amount written by all the
southern companies.
The total premiums paid by south*
ern people for llfo insurance In 1900
amounted to $67,000,000, while the
total to southern companion was $&*
750,000, and over 17 per cent of the
latter amount went to tho company
