A GOOD ADVERTISEMENT Was that page in yesterday’s GEORGIAN of a well- known Life Insurance Company. Of especial interest to prospective insurers was the excellent dividend record on the policy of Mr. E. R. Du Bose. This kind of advertis ing is to be commended for the reason that it really helps the insuring public to intelligently determine which is the best Company. High-sounding figures and meaning less ratios, usually contained in Insurance advertise ments, are often misleading. What the wise insurer wants to know, is not how much surplus is being accu mulated , and held for policyholders, but how much is being paid out in dividends"to policyholders. The only way to get at this important fact is by comparing the actual records of individual policies of the same date, age, and kind; We, therefore, take pleasure in reproducing the record appearing yesterday; and take the liberty to print by its side the record of a Northwestern Mutual policy of the same kind aud age, on the life of another prominent Atlanta merchant, Mr. Jerome Silvey, of the Truitt-Si Ivey Hat Company.
